Join us during Spring Break for the Festival of Rights! From Monday, March 30 to Thursday, April 2, celebrate the joy of childhood – dancing, singing, playing, laughing and creating.

Each day hosts a variety of entertainers and workshops including dancing, circus arts, sing‐a‐longs and drumming. The Festival will be happening on the main floor in Bonnie & John Buhler Hall with a stroller station and designated snack areas.

Daily face painting, crafts, interactive art and discovery activities!

Children will be immersed in concepts like kindness, empathy and inclusion, the basic building blocks of human rights.

An early connection to human rights education and action helps children grow into caring individuals and global citizens who can make the world a better place!
