In episode 9 part one, Sandy Sohcot, founder and director of the The World As It Could Be Human Rights Education Program, discusses her initial interest in human rights, and her work with the Women’s Leadership Alliance. She shares her background as the Executive Director for the Rex Foundation, and about the creation of The World As It Could Be. She expounds upon the significance of using the arts to advance human rights education (HRE), and how projects can help students connect in a more visceral way to human rights issues. She touches on the problem of cutting funding for arts education in the USA, and the importance of having administrator advocates in promoting arts and HRE. She then shares a bit about her work with the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, and the ongoing obstacle to using human rights language in public forums.
