Human rights education lays the foundation for building a culture of human rights. Imagine the world we would live in if fundamental human rights were valued and accessible to everyone. As an educator you have the ability to make this a reality! By integrating human rights education into your classroom, you can help students not only learn about their own rights, but also their responsibility to protect the rights of others!

Join the Human Rights Educator Network to keep up-to-date on new curriculum and resources to support students in gaining an understanding of human rights concepts, incorporate these values into their everyday lives, and learn how to take action!
