Human Rights Education

Education is the foundation and catalyst for changing the state of human rights in the world, but educators need effective materials and tools they can use to easily incorporate human rights in their curriculum. To fulfill this need, we have now transformed the United for Human Rights curriculum into an entirely virtual online education experience with this United for Human Rights iPad Application. This application gives teachers and educators everywhere a resource to help bring the concepts of human rights to life and make them a reality in the hearts, minds and actions of those who study the subject.

The United for Human Rights curriculum is designed for secondary and post-secondary classrooms and adult education classes in community settings. It may be used as a full course or as a supplemental resource in another curriculum.

This app is free for both teachers and students.
