Since this Monday the “Speak Truth to Power” photo exhibition is on display at the Institut Montana in Zug.

This new cooperation was kicked off by a visit from our director human rights education Stephanie Eger. During a teacher conference she introduced the teaching staff to the work of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights and talked about the importance and essence of human rights education.

Human Rights Education is a deliberate, participatory practice aimed at empowering individuals, groups, and communities through fostering knowledge, skills, and attitudes consistent with internationally recognized human rights principles. It encompasses education about human rights, through human rights, and for human rights.

Many teachers are committed to teach their pupils about human rights - in many different ways. Some will approach the subject during their history lessons and others in more creative ways during for example arts classes. Even the youngsters (age 6+) will be introduced to the subject!
