ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
We are confronted daily with news of ethnic conflicts, inhumane practices, civil unrest and war that threaten our human rights. Unfortunately, a majority of the world’s population does not know what human rights are and that they are entitled to them.
Workshop participants will be trained to use the Youth for Human Rights Educator’s Guide containing lesson plans, activities, and ideas for engaging students in human rights education.
