Maria Montessori, Education and Peace
The Summer Reading Program is designed to introduce children to core concepts in human rights (diversity, inclusion, dignity, respect, kindness, empathy, etc.) through stories, art, movement activities, journal drawing and writing, and language stimulation. Gaining an understanding of the vocabulary word “upstander,” participants practice being upstanders through active engagement in the stories read and in the hands-on activities shared.
Participation is FREE and on a first come, first served basis.
Summer 2023 registration information coming soon!
Human Rights for Young Listeners carefully selects books for the Summer Reading Program that introduce children to core concepts in human rights in order to enable them to understand how they should be treated, how they should treat others, and inspire them to be upstanders!
Listen to some of the stories HERE!
