Human Rights Day 2022 at The Center

On December 10, 1948 the United Nations General assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a milestone document containing 30 articles proclaiming the inalienable rights of every person regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Each December 10, the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is commemorated across the world with cultural events and performances, public meetings and seminars, and other educational activities in promotion of human rights.

As an advocate and partner for the promotion of human rights around the world, The Center is proud to invite you to celebrate Human Rights day 2022 with us.

+Activities at The Center: The Center has organized a host of activities to educate, engage, and inform young visitors and families about the importance of Human Rights Day. Visitors to The Center will have access to dance performances, games, information cards, and gifts and prizes to take home. Join us in The Center’s Glenn Room and Mezzanine Space from 12PM – 4PM to enjoy:

• Atlanta based Full Radius Dance will perform a tribute focused on redefining the boundaries of dance by bringing together disabled and non-disabled dancers through performance, education, and advocacy. After the performance, guests will receive a keepsake Human Rights Day activity card to carry on the education and fun after their visit.
• Human Rights Matching Game: As visitors enter the building, each child/group will receive definition cards and a Universal Declaration of Human Rights booklet. Guests can match their definition to the Article listed in the UDHR booklet. Once guests reach the Mezzanine Space, they may place their card in the appropriately labeled UDHR pouch corresponding with the Article name. Accurate answers will win prizes.
• A resource page will be provided that informs visitors about human rights organizations in America and how to take action on resolving human rights issues today.
