[child-rights] New child labour & human rights curriculum materials

Dear Listserv members:

I am writing to introduce two human rights-related curriculum packets from
the Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education.

1. Child Labor -- includes both general information and 3 case studies (a
strawberry picker in California; a boy in India who lives & works and goes to
school on a train station platform; child soldiers in Uganda). Includes many
overhead slides of child workers. Also includes a booklet containing text of
the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child.

2. Human Rights -- helps students ask questions about human rights issues by
examining various misconceptions based on stereotypes and common images in
the news media

More complete information can be found in the on-line catalogue at:
http://spice.stanford.edu

I was involved in the editing of the child labor curriculum, and can make one
other offer to teachers using this material: In a couple of years, I hope to
bring together at a workshop teachers -- from the U.S. and other countries --
who have taught about child labor & human rights. Information developed in
the workshop will be used to create a 2nd edition.

For further information, please contact me directly.
