This semester DSPT will be collaborating with other universities, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faith centers, interfaith coalitions and Bay Area social justice organizations to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The symposium, Faith in Human Rights: Promoting Human Dignity, Working for Justice, Building Peace, has already begun and will run through 12 May 2009. Many aspects of this program will be open to the general public, like: courses of study, lectures, workshops, a film festival, and art exhibits.
Detailed information about the project is available on DSPT’s website (www.dspt.edu). There, you can find general information about the creation of the symposium, read the biographies of the participants and partners, read information about the different art exhibits, and check the dates and topics of the lectures, workshops, and films. There is also a section of internet, print, and film resources on human rights.
