Human Rights Education 1.3.4

Education serves as a crucial foundation and catalyst for advancing human rights globally. However, educators often require comprehensive materials and tools to effectively integrate human rights into their curriculum. Addressing this need, the United for Human Rights curriculum has been transformed into a fully virtual online educational experience through the United for Human Rights iPad Application. This application provides educators with a resource designed to bring the principles of human rights to life, fostering understanding and engagement among students.

The United for Human Rights curriculum is tailored for secondary and post-secondary classrooms, as well as adult education settings. It can be utilized as a complete course or as supplementary material within an existing curriculum.

The application is available at no cost to both educators and learners.
