October 19th, 2008: JHR partnership
We are pleased to announce our partnership with Journalists for Human Rights. Together, we will be offering two new workshops: The Power of the Pen: The Role of the Media in Sparking Positive Social Change and Train the Trainer Program: Empowering Canadian Youth in Human Rights Education.
Who We Are
Education for Change is a non-profit organization founded by a group of young Canadians who are committed to advancing awareness of genocide and crimes against humanity as a means of generating change. By educating fellow Canadians about these issues, we aim to equip individuals with the necessary tools to exercise their political rights and engage with historical issues in order to prevent future human rights violations.
Ongoing
We are currently recruiting facilitators for the Leadership Education Ambassadors: Darfur (LEAD) program that trains university & high school students to become educated speakers about the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Our presentations are interactive and inspirational, and can be tailored to fit any elementary, junior high or high school curriculum. To book a speaker, or to become trained, please contact Caroline Cormier.
