[hr-education-na] Classroom materials on global issues

Dear Human Rights Educators,

I work for a US-based human rights education program called the Global
Concerns Project. We develop and distribute human rights themed classroom
materials and work with teachers and administrators to implement the
curricula in US classrooms. I wanted to spread the word about the
wonderful resources we offer to schools free of charge.

The Global Concerns Project works in US classrooms to increase students'
understanding of current international issues. The Global Concerns Project
inspires debate and dialogue in schools by providing classroom materials,
coordinating guest speakers, organizing workshops, and creating global
concerns after school clubs. Curriculum themes include HIV/AIDS (focus on
Uganda), Hunger (focus on Ethiopia), Women's Rights (focus on Pakistan),
Child Labor (focus on Bangladesh), Education (focus on Somalia), and Water
(focus on Haiti). The Global Concerns Project connects students to the
international community and creates opportunities for research,
reflection, and action. All participation and materials are available at
no cost.

The Global Concerns Project is an education program of Concern Worldwide,
an international humanitarian organization committed to the relief,
assistance and advancement of the poorest people in the least developed
countries of the world. Learn more at: http://www.concernusa.org

Thank you!
