sLEEPOVER aGENDA
The Sleepover for Syria is designed as a multifaceted tool that involves students with human rights issues all over the world. To accomplish that, its agenda relies upon speakers, activities, and video/movies. To that end, you’ll notice that the students will have the option of watching either “The Hunger Games”and/or “Hotel Rwanda”—both of which emphasize human rights and the important role individuals play in the world.
