John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights Building Human Rights Communities - Bringing Human Rights Education into your Classroom THEMES: Human Rights GEOGRAPHICAL REGION: Alberta CONTACT INFORMATION: Carrie Malloy, Education Coordinator Tel: (780) 453-2638 Fax: (780) 454-1519 carrie@jhcentre.org http://jhcentre.org DESCRIPTION: The John Humphrey Centre for Peace and Human Rights has recently completed the development of a teaching resource entitled “Building Human Rights Communities: A resource for teaching and learning about human rights, citizenship, quality of life and communities”. This resource has been reviewed and approved as an authorized teaching resource by Alberta Education. “Building Human Rights Communities” is a hands-on, experiential teaching and learning resource which enables teachers to engage students in understanding human rights, citizenship and quality of life. The resource is geared towards active engagement of students to help them focus on how they can shape their own community, such as their school, into a human rights community. The Centre delivers workshops to teachers to engage them and enhance their capacity to use this resource effectively in their classes and to develop creative methods of engaging their students in human rights learning. As the teaching resource is a hands-on, experiential teaching and learning resource, it will enable teachers to engage students in understanding human rights, citizenship and quality of life, both within the classroom and within the community. The resource is unique that it links the old and new curriculum of the Department of Education and human rights to practical experiences and issues that youth can relate to. The resource is geared towards active engagement of students to help them focus on how they can shape their own community, such as their school, into a human rights community. 46
