The EarthRights Schools teach that earth rights promotion and protection are the cornerstones of democracy, which requires an engaged civil society to secure and defend these rights. Through the EarthRights Schools students gain specific knowledge and skills essential to the creation of a civil society, and take this knowledge out into their own communities.
By investing in students for the long-term, the EarthRights Schools help to create a corps of committed defenders of human rights and the natural world.
In addition to the EarthRights Schools, ERI’s training activities include training sessions and workshops covering specific topics with various regional partners.
