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. Session participants will learn from Museum human rights educators, as well as from teachers who have implemented the Be an Upstander program in their classes. The event will include time to connect with other educators, a visit of the Museum galleries and a free lunch.
