Respect Everyone Everywhere (2008-2009)

The Respect Everyone Everywhere project raised awareness and promoted human rights values such as freedom, peace, diversity, inclusiveness and respect amongst students from Grades 7 to 12. Students identified human rights leaders in their schools. Their teachers encouraged them to talk about human rights and to find ways of making their schools better places. Winning students (nominator & human rights leader) were awarded a MacBook.
