<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I am working with the
<a href="https://thedoddcenter.uconn.edu/k-12-education/human-rights-education-resources/">
Thomas J. Dodd Center at the University of Connecticut</a> on a very cool project. One of their focuses (foci?) is Human Rights. The other is that they have a large
<a href="http://archives.lib.uconn.edu/nclc">Children’s Literature Collection</a>.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">They have combined these two on a project based on the
<a href="http://www.youthforhumanrights.org/what-are-human-rights/universal-declaration-of-human-rights/articles-1-15.html">
Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a>, and have displayed children’s books that help children to understand these rights. You can read about the program here [<a href="https://thedoddcenter.uconn.edu/k-12-education/childrens-literature-and-human-rights/">https://thedoddcenter.uconn.edu/k-12-education/childrens-literature-and-human-rights/</a>],
and if you scroll to the bottom, there are 6 catetogories for which they have chosen books and created posters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">What I have learned is that many other countries (specifically Britain and Scotland, at least) have Human Rights Education in their curricula – and in the United
States, we have no requirement for this. There are two doctoral students studying what is being done in the US, and developing professional development for teachers and media specialists around teaching human rights education with children’s books. They have
sent out a nationwide survey, but have questioned how far their reach has gone. In order to help them, I agreed to send out their survey to you all in hopes that you will pass it along to teachers and media specialists if you have a way to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">This is a really exciting project and I want to help in any way I can! So if you are so inclined, or feel strongly about human rights education and want to do
something that has potential to help, here is the survey link.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
