The following activities were designed primarily for use by law faculty in Myanmar as part of the University Human Rights Education in Myanmar Project run by the Institute for the Study of Human Rights at Columbia University with the support of Open Society Foundations. Specifically, the intended users are educators who are teaching International Human Rights Law to 3rd-year LLB students in Myanmar. However, our hope is that these activities will also be of use to educators in other contexts. These activities are designed with the expectation that each educator will modify them to suit the needs of their learners.
