SAVE THE DATE!!!

THE HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION SUMMIT

Host:

Amnesty International USA, in collaboration with other national, regional
and
local educational organizations.

What:

Through a series of panel discussions, the Human Rights Education Summit
will address issues that impact public and private school education in
America today. The learning environment in our schools is greatly affected
by social, economic, political, civil and cultural realities, as well as
by state and national dictates, such as No Child Left Behind, state
standards, and high-stakes testing.

The goal of the Summit is to shed light on relevant issues as well as to
bring to light effective human rights related strategies for dealing with
those issues. In addition, the Summit will provide an opportunity to
review the necessity and value of human rights education in our schools.
Participants of the Summit will be invited to contribute to a
collaborative position paper.

When:

July 31-August 1

New York City, The Hotel Pennsylvania

Cost:

There is no registration fee and participants will be provided with
written
