DGA - 304 Education for Human Rights & Sustainability

The Miner Anderson Family Foundation in collaboration with the Division of Global Affairs at Kennesaw State University will host the Education for Sustainability and Human Rights Program. Inspired by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 2030 Framework of Education for Sustainable Development, the seminar fosters dialogue among educators regarding linkages between global and local topics. Ultimately, the seminar will assist K-12 teachers to establish a platform promoting collaboration, curriculum development, and instruction for authentic student learning; so that young citizens may acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable lifestyles, cultural diversity, gender equality, and a culture of peace and non-violence through principles of human rights. 

On completion of the program, teachers will demonstrate their understanding of human rights and sustainability by working together to create tailored curriculums that promote global citizenship, equality, and sustainability in the classroom.  The workshop specifically targets skills in Human Rights Issues, Sustainable Development, Student Engagement, and Capacity Development.
