What is Human Rights Learning?

Human Rights Learning is about education, training and information aimed at building a culture of human rights through sharing knowledge, skill and experience. This is achieved through activities motivated towards promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms for all.

Spirit Hunter believes it is not only for professionals to teach the amateurs, the old to teach the young, the wealthy to enrich the poor, or the free to liberate the enslaved. But more importantly, it is about turning-the-tide on this knowledge exchange so that students teach the teachers, the sick inform the well, the young inspire the not-so-young, the poor enrich the wealthy and the incarcerated liberate the free. This is achieved through the ancient art of listening, talking and sharing stories of our humanity.

In this, Spirit Hunter acknowledges that it is not our knowledge that is significant or insignificant, but rather our willingness to empower others by offering what knowledge we have. It invites you to share your destiny and to advance the rights of others so we may all enjoy dignity and humanity together. So Spirit Hunting begins simply with the recognition of us all as human and uniting under this perfect commonality.

What is Spirit Hunting?

Hunting, in the ancient traditional sense, is about seeking out sustenance in order for a community to grow and thrive equal with their environment.
Spirit Hunting therefore, is about seeking out sustenance for intangible qualities, including our potential and ability, in order to give lifeblood back to our communities. This quest for spirit reminds us that our stories are our own, but our destiny can be shared, in our homes and our land in this Year of Human Rights Learning.
