Welcome to the official blog of the Youth for Human Rights World Tour 2009! In honor of the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights we will circle the globe in our 6th Annual World Tour, to celebrate the outstanding work that has been done and inspire further dissemination, promotion and reading of this important document in educational institutions around the globe.
The purpose of Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) is to teach youth about human rights -- specifically, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights – and inspire them to become life-long advocates for tolerance and peace.
The exciting 2009 World Tour will cover Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Colombia, Jordan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Timor-Leste, Uganda, and the USA! We will try to post a blog entry for each country, so keep checking back for updates with photos, videos, and more!
