HRE Resources for Living Together in Peace

hreusa's avatar by Leave a comment

The UN recognizes May 16 as the International Day of Living Together in Peace to promote peace, tolerance, inclusion, understanding and solidarity – both inside and across borders. Sustainable peace is possible only when human rights are respected.

The Day promotes reconciliation to help ensure peace and sustainable development, including through education, by working with communities, faith leaders and other relevant actors, through reconciliatory measures and acts of service, and be encouraging forgiveness and compassion among individuals.

HREA has over 20 resources addressing peace education, including lesson plans, toolkits, teacher training manuals and multimedia materials.

In preparation for educational activities for peace and throughout the year, you are welcome to explore HREA’s Online Resource Center for HRE resources on topics at the intersection human and children’s rights.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
