Education for Sustainability and Human Rights Program

The Miner Anderson Family Foundation and the Office of Global Education at Kennesaw State University (KSU) are pleased to announce the 2026 Education for Sustainability and Human Rights Fellowship. Inspired by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 2030 Framework of Education for Sustainable Development, the program will consist of a week-long residential institute, monthly meetings, and a one-day winter retreat in January 2027. These programs and activities will foster dialogue among the educators regarding linkages between global and local topics. Participants will be supported in designing and implementing a hands-on project about human rights and/or the Sustainable Development Goals in their schools. The aim of the program is to create a network of K-12 teachers for collaboration, curriculum development, and instruction for issues-centered student learning.

Past participants have enjoyed the community that is built during the fellowship, and the ability to design meaningful programs that impact the students while addressing world-wide challenges:

“I am not alone as a teacher who wants to learn and make the world better for my students.” S.W.

“I loved the community I was able to build, ideas that I gained from others, and the connections I made.” A.A.

"I am so appreciative of the experience!" T.J.
