OUR MISSION The Human Rights Educators USA (HRE USA) is a collaborative network to learn, teach, organize, advocate, and innovate for human rights education in the United States.
Applications and programme information are now available for three graduate programmes in international law, diplomacy, international affairs, and human rights. These programmes are designed for students and professionals who want to build practical expertise for careers in international organizations, public service, advocacy, diplomacy, policy, and human rights work.
Co-hosted by iCivics and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, this year’s Forum will explore high-quality civic education in the digital age with leading researchers, civic leaders, educators, and students. Call for session proposals will open later this summer.
This special edition acknowledges the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with a new resource on the linkages between Human Rights Education and Service-Oriented Culture. We are also pleased to share our latest episode of Human Rights Education Now! with Dr. Mary Elizabeth Curran.
