Dear Colleagues, HREA is calling for applications for its distance learning course "Introduction to Human Rights Education", which will be offered from 12 September-4 December 2007. Please note that the deadline for applications is June 1st. Below you will find a brief description of the course. Best wishes, Sandra Quintin Distance Learning Programme, HREA http://www.hrea.org/courses/ ------ HREA Distance Learning Programme INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION (course 8E07) 12 September-4 December 2007 Instructor: Felisa Tibbitts The course will introduce the international field of human rights education (HRE), including presentations of programming approaches, teaching and learning resources, and related theory. The course is intended for educators and trainers working in both the formal and nonformal sectors. Participants will be assisted in the development of a curriculum, training, or plan to use these skills to further their organisation's advocacy efforts. Participants might be expected to apply these skills within formal education settings, for staff development within their own organisations, and for outreach and advocacy. The course has the following sequence. First, it will introduce the human rights framework and programming approaches and teaching materials in use worldwide. This will be followed by a presentation of interactive teaching methods and related pedagogical theory. Participants will then explore discipline-based approaches to HRE, examining programming and sample materials that come from the social sciences, the humanities and the sciences. This will be complemented by an examination of "issue" oriented education and advocacy approaches to HRE, drawing examples from children's rights, women's rights and the rights of minorities. Several sessions will be devoted to building the skills of participants, by reviewing how to develop a learning experience, use the Internet for resources and integration of assessments. The application deadlines is 1 June 2007.
