[hr-education-na] Your input requested for the "4th R"

Dear Listserv Members,

The U.N. Decade for Human Rights Education will conclude at the end of
2004!  This benchmark is inspiring reflection among human rights educators
about our progress over the last ten years - as well as questions about
where we go from here.

This will be one of the topics addressed in the spring 2004 issue of the
"4th R", Amnesty International-USA's magazine for educators. In this
issue, the editors would also like to include examples of how HRE is
taking place in less traditional subjects, that is, not just in social
studies classrooms but across subject areas and disciplines (science,
language arts, math, visual arts, etc.)

I would like to invite listserv members to share their experiences in
teaching HRE in less traditional subjects. What curricular and
extracurricular strategies have you used? What were your successes? What
did students gain from these experiences? Would these strategies work in
other school settings with different student populations? The more
details, the better!  Please send in your messages as soon as possible, as
we have a mid-January deadline for the article.

You are also welcome to share your comments on the first Decade for HRE.
To your mind, what have been the accomplishments and what are the
remaining challenges for educators in the U.S.? What you think the future
holds for us or, alternatively, how we should hold the future?

Your experiences and thoughts will enrich many members of the human rights
education community. We look forward to reading your comments!

Warmly,

Felisa Tibbitts
Member of Editorial Board, "4th R"
