This is a class for learners who are passionate about justice and equality. In our one-hour session together, we explore the concept of human rights, their importance in the global community, and why they are essential. - Learn about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its significance. - Explore important international treaties and conventions that protect human rights, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. - Discuss various human rights issues around the world, including freedom of speech, gender equality, and the right to education. - Talk about current events and case studies that illustrate these issues. - Learn about key organizations that work to protect and promote human rights, such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the United Nations Human Rights Council. - Examine the challenges faced in the fight for human rights and the progress that has been made, and - Discuss how individuals and communities can contribute to advancing human rights. My teaching style is interactive and student-centered, with the intent to encourage every participant to become engaged and actively involved. My classes include: - Interactive Discussions: We begin with an introduction to human rights, followed by engaging discussions where students can ask questions and share their thoughts. - Multimedia Resources: Our class includes videos, infographics, and other multimedia resources to make learning about human rights interesting and accessible. - Real-World Examples: We look at real-world examples and case studies to help students connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Students should come prepared to: 1. Participate Actively: Be ready to discuss, ask questions, and engage in activities. 2. Think Critically: Analyze human rights issues from multiple perspectives and consider the challenges and progress in this field. 3. Stay Curious: Maintain an open mind and a willingness to learn about global issues and international efforts to protect human rights. By the end of this class, students will have a solid understanding of human rights, the global challenges in protecting these rights, and the ways in which they can contribute to promoting justice and equality.

Orientación para padres
In this class, students will engage with complex and sometimes sensitive topics related to human rights. While the material is designed to be age-appropriate and handled with care, parents should be aware of the following content areas:
1. Discussion of Human Rights Violations: The class will include discussions on various human rights violations around the world, such as discrimination, child labor, and gender inequality. These topics may involve descriptions of suffering, injustice, and the challenges faced by marginalized groups.
2. Exposure to Real-World Case Studies: Students will explore real-world examples and case studies that highlight current human rights issues. These case studies may include situations involving violence, oppression, and humanitarian crises, which could be distressing to some learners.
3. Exploration of Global Inequalities: The course will cover global inequalities related to race, gender, and socio-economic status, and how these issues impact access to education, healthcare, and basic rights. This may include discussions on systemic injustice and historical contexts of oppression.
4. Sensitive Ethical and Moral Questions: As students examine the efforts to protect and promote human rights, they will encounter complex ethical and moral questions. These discussions will encourage critical thinking but may challenge students’ existing beliefs and perspectives.
My class aims to create a respectful and supportive environment where students can learn about these important issues while feeling comfortable to express their thoughts and ask questions. Parents are encouraged to discuss these topics with their children and provide additional support if needed.

The following list of books is not exhaustive of the material that will be covered in this class but is intended to provide context and deeper insights into the themes we will explore.
While some of these books may be accessible to older students and can certainly enhance their understanding of the topics discussed, there is no expectation for students to read these materials.
I will however, be providing relevant and up-to-date resources, including YouTube clips and PDF newspaper articles from sources like The Economist and The Guardian, that are of greater relevance to young learners.
These materials will be carefully selected to complement our discussions and are more likely to engage and appeal to students.

For the last eight years, I have then also homeschooled my own children, which has given me valuable insights into personalized and flexible teaching methods.
I also have a deep interest in current world events and have read extensively in this area over more than two decades. Reseñas
