Human Rights Day
The goal of this service learning project is for students to educate their peers and fellow citizens about Human Rights issues at home and around the world.  Students will research successful strategies employed by social justice and human rights advocates. Students will raise awareness to create positive change in their school and neighborhoods by using the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in conjunction with their research of non violent human rights movements. After they have analyzed the tactics and tools utilized to improve human rights conditions locally, specific non-violent strategies and tactics used by social justice and human rights advocates can be used effectively in case study and experiential learning.  Optional expansion activities include researching the propaganda methods used to foster negative stereotypes, violence and human rights abuses.
