[hr-education] Launch of Global Human Rights Education Database

Dear colleagues,

This year's Human Rights Day will mark the end of the United Nations
Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004). As a recognition of all the
excellent work that has been done during the Decade, HREA will launch the
Global Human Rights Education Database.

This database includes:

* a global directory of human rights educators
* a directory of organisations involved in human rights education
* a comprehensive listing of human rights courses and programmes offered
worldwide
* an extensive annotated bibliography of human rights education materials
that have been produced during the UN Decade for Human Rights Education
* a listing of funders that support human rights education

Most of the data contained in the Global Human Rights Education Database
has been collected with your help over the past ten years through our
Electronic Resource Centre (since 1998), contributions to the Global Human
Rights Education listserv (since 1999), and as part of various editions of
HREA's Human Rights Education Resourcebook (first edition in 1997, second
in 2000, third in 2003). The Global Directory of Human Rights Educators
provides an additional resource for individuals, communities and
organisations that are looking for assistance with their activities or
want to exchange information. Through the directory one can identify
trainers or curriculum developers, explore potential partnerships, etc.

You can visit the database at: www.hrea.org/erc/Databases/

We hope that the Global Human Rights Education Database will become a
valuable tool for those working in HRE. Please do not hesitate to contact
us if you have specific questions (technical or otherwise) about the
Database. You can do so by e-mailing: support@hrea.org

The Board and staff of HREA wish you a very memorable Human Rights Day!

Felisa Tibbitts
Executive Director, HREA
