Abstract
Designed for undergraduate and graduate students, this immersive human rights workshop will help participants deepen their understanding of global justice issues and develop practical and analytical skills to integrate social justice and equality into their future professional life. Hands-on activities in a safe and inclusive environment will offer insight into (and practice with) applying a human rights framework to any professional context, with special emphasis on careers in engineering, design, human rights, social services, education, community development, and sustainability.
By thoughtfully integrating reflection on difference and positionality, deconstructing attitudes based on privilege, and approaching encounters with equity, accountability, and access in mind, this workshop is a catalyst for self-awareness and informed action. Participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions, interactive activities, and brief explorations that lay the foundation for deeper understanding to navigate complex challenges of human rights in practice.
