The Wassmuth Human Rights Education Fellowship

Educators have been key partners in the work of the Center since its inception.  In 2023, the Center created the Wassmuth Human Rights Education Fellowship program for educators (WHRE).  This program is a yearlong opportunity for educators to come together to deepen their learning and support each other in creating joy, justice, and belonging in their learning environments.  

The first cohort of educators finished up in May 2024, and the second cohort started with a weeklong summer institute in June.  A frequent request from educators is to build a collective that can learn from and support each other.  So, in August of 2024, we will launch the RIPLE (Recharging and Inspiring Possibilities in Learning) Collective.  RIPLE will allow previous WHRE fellows to connect with current fellows to build that community of human rights educators.  We hope the “ripple effect” will go far (see what we did there?).
