Educators
Teaching
about human rights creates a learning environment
and fosters communities where human rights are respected
and acknowledged. By participating in activities,
students can come to understand their power and
responsibility as global citizens. Here are some
ideas for curriculum content and classroom activities
to get you started.

Create
a curriculum on international human rights issues
that highlights the problems on Burma or add Burma
to an existing curriculum.

Education

there are war crimes and/or crimes against humanity
and whether the situation in Burma meet these
criteria based on the Rome Statute and prior International
Criminal Court cases.

exiled Burmese, Burma activists, journalists,
and academics to attend class as a guest speaker
to discuss the situation in Burma, and the role
that outsiders can play in bringing change.

Burma and take actions as noted under “citizens”.
