Education Thematic Area Description
The Victor Pineda Foundation dedicates a large amount of time working on the ground by sharing our experiences, research findings and fieldwork with policy makers, opinion leaders, and peer educators. All these approaches have helped improve conditions for young people with disabilities.
As recognized by the United Nations:
"There is a growing consensus that education in and for human rights is essential and can contribute to both the reduction of human rights violations and the building of free and peaceful societies. Human rights education is also increasingly recognized as an effective strategy to prevent human rights abuses."
VPF develops educational products, videos, curriculums, and educational toolkits that promote inclusive education at both, local and global levels. In addition, we partner with UN specialized organizations such as UNICEF, UNESCO, UNOHCHR to adapt human rights materials and make them accessible to the wider public. A significant and pressing challenge exists in creating culturally specific educational and training materials that are based on a human rights approach aiming to transform discriminatory practices associated with disability.
