Human rights belong to everyone equally. This site, its resources, our organization, and everything we offer is for you—teachers, facilitators, and students. We call our curriculum Colega, meaning your friend and partner in teaching and learning about human rights. Through human rights education, Colega can help you develop the necessary skills and attitudes to promote equality, dignity, kindness, and respect in your community and throughout the world.
