After School – Pablo Herrera

During the After School Program at West Preparatory Academy in Harlem New York City, Students have interviewed each other about the meaning of Human Rights.

The following interview fragments have been an important piece to define the topics and contents developed by the students during the 2017/18 program.

As a result, the students developed a series of activities around issues such as gender equality, Rights of the Child, democracy, immigration, diversity and racism among others.

The program has ended with a visit to the United Nations Headquarters and the realization of several short documentaries to defend and promote Human Rights.
