Workshop "Service Learning with a Human Rights Focus"
Boston, March 14, 2006

Dear colleagues,

HREA will be organizing a workshop on service learning during the
Northeast Regional Conference on the Social Studies. This workshop
demonstrates how a human rights-based approach can deepen students'
critical engagement with the social justice component of service learning.
Participants receive a copy of the new publication Human Rights Education
and Service Learning Guide developed by Amnesty International-USA and
Human Rights Education Associates (HREA). Participants take part in an
activity from the new manual and engage in an overarching conversation of
the value added from applying the human rights framework to service
learning.

Facilitators: Liz Sullivan and Felisa Tibbittts (HREA).

This workshop is held during the Northeast Regional Conference on the
Social Studies, March 13-16, 2006.

Participants: middle school and high school teachers, and
college/university professors

Tuition, fee, lodging: Registration for Northeast Regional Conference on
the Social Studies is required in order to participate in this workshop.
