The Be an Upstander program is a free project‐based learning unit designed to empower students to take action for human rights. Throughout the lessons students will be challenged to think critically and creatively, demonstrate active citizenship skills and develop an action plan against human rights injustices. 
 
This workshop will guide educators through the process of bringing the Be an Upstander program into their classrooms and preparing students to participate in the Edmonton and area Upstander Showcase at the Royal Alberta Museum. The showcase is an event for students to share their work and passion with the public and fellow upstanders.
