****************************************************************************** Not For Sale
Methods of Education by Hans Meimban (UCR)
The above link directs you to a page on the Not For Sale campaign website. On this page, numerous resources are available, mainly for teachers, on how to educate students, specifically on the high school and college levels, about human trafficking.
Its three-step process is easy to pick up and to follow! Here's a simple breakdown of how it works:
- Advise: Teachers are encouraged to enlighten students about the issues revolving around Not For Sale.
- Teach: Teachers then teach interested students into more in-depth details about human trafficking by creating class room discussions, realizing how rampant human trafficking is, and making sure students understand the processes and steps that are needed in order to end human trafficking.
- Contribute: Teachers then help students contribute to "The White Paper," a collection of research dedicated in combating human trafficking.
Take a look at this website! There is a huge amount of information available to read up on!
Thank you for reading!
