Experiential Learning Project
Learning in a classroom is one thing, but it doesn’t give you the whole picture. Whether you know it or not, human rights are right here at home. The DC area offers invaluable opportunity to witness, explore and further understand a variety of complex, powerful human rights issues. In an effort to cultivate new perspectives for students on human rights at home, the Center sponsors a series of semester-long Experiential Learning Projects (ELP). ELPs take students from the classroom into the field to interact with the real people that live the issues we often discuss in the law school classroom. Our goal is to humanize the learning experience, complicate participants' understanding of an issue and charge learning with transformative potential. Keep an eye out for applications in the fall semester by visiting the Center's home page at the start of the year.
