Academic year 2023/24 has been a successful year for Generation 2 Generation. Our bookings overall have increased by approximately 10%. We have also received many bookings for 2024/25.
Here we summarise our key achievements since Jan 2020 when we became a registered charity.
Our Achievements 2020–2024
Since January 2020 we have delivered over 1000 presentations to over 100,000 people with requests for speakers increasing year on year.
- In 2023 alone we delivered more than 330 presentations to more than 40,000 people. In 2024 to date, our bookings have increase by 15% on the previous year.
- Our presentations reach audiences in schools, universities, religious and community organisations and at civic events. More recently we have engaged with new audiences, such as fire services and prisons.
We have increased the number of accredited G2G Holocaust speakers to 34
- We expect to increase this to 40 accredited speakers by the end of 2024.
- To include eight third generation speakers and six speakers outside London.
We continue to successfully recruit new speakers and are currently assisting 18 prospective speakers to develop presentations.
- Our speaker training program provides speakers with the support of a mentor and technical/creative expert to assist in the development and assembly of their presentation. They undergo thorough training to develop their historical knowledge and to present effectively to different groups.
Educational resources
- We have also created 25 educational resources, each complementing a specific presentation. These resources support educators hosting a G2G speaker, to extend student learning.
Our monthly public events and newsletter have established us as an organisation ready and able to engage in issues of historical and social significance.
- Our monthly events showcase new presentations, create short films on issues of historical and social significance and invite speakers to address current issues.
- This includes events co-hosted with refugee organisations and groups creating awareness of other genocides. Attendance varies from 50 to 120 people.
- Our new e-newsletter focuses on current issues relevant to our work and is received by more than 700 people
Awareness of G2G has increased significantly
- We are now recognised in the Holocaust education community for delivering high-quality presentations, as evidenced by invitations to significant events, word-of-mouth recommendations, referrals from other organisations and more enquiries through our website.
