Participants will join in a live video conference with participating educational sites and international sites from around the world, including Mexico, Canada, Dominican Republic, India, and Pakistan, aimed at heightening young people's awareness of human rights and responsible participation in our global society.
Teachers will have the unique opportunity to initiate dialogue with other teachers from around the world, as we explore the challenges of developing peaceable classrooms and curriculums with global perspectives. The collaboration will lead to an Educational Plan of Action cowritten by teachers from around the world and presented before the United Nations. |
