[Ava Kreutziger]

Hi Friends,

Please join us for Module 5: Human Rights Education as a Response to Polarization of our 2025-2026 Training As Action Series (TAAS) on November 10th, 2025 from 7 pm -8:30 pm ET >>Register. This session will explore how misinformation shapes public perception, the role of freedom of speech in digital spaces, and the responsibilities of governments, companies, and communities in safeguarding access to truthful information. Through facilitated dialogue, participants will reflect on their own relationship with digital platforms, critically evaluate sources, and consider how human rights education can foster media literacy, civic responsibility, and resilience in the face of disinformation.

Additionally, Episodes of our Human Rights Education Now! podcast are out now. You can listen with this link.

In these episodes, hosts Ava Kreutziger and Elizabeth Schwab speak with youth advocates Jude Armstrong, Jaya Field, and Ella Henry about how education shapes their understanding of human rights. They share experiences with Eurocentric and exclusionary curricula, the absence of marginalized voices, and how these gaps motivated their activism. Ella discusses her “Know Your Rights” trainings for immigrant communities, while the group reflects on censorship through omission and the need for inclusive, truth-based education that connects classroom learning to real-world justice movements.
In the second part of the youth discussion, the conversation focuses on global perspectives, intersectionality, and creative activism. Jaya discusses her comparative research on queer rights in Sweden and Poland; Jude explores poetry and abolition as tools for liberation; and Ella reflects on cultural shifts toward inclusivity. The guests share strategies for resisting censorship, promoting restorative justice, and incorporating lived experiences into education. They conclude by envisioning a future where empathy, representation, and critical thinking are central to all learning environments.
