EDUC 280 - The World’s Children: Their Rights & Wellbeing

With different topics each semester, this course focuses on major issues facing the world’s children, such as trafficking, child soldiers in armed conflict, lack of safe drinking water, discrimination against girls, indoctrination, infant mortality, refugee status, and human rights violations. Students investigate a situation in various regions of the world and learn about organizations and individuals who are making a real difference in the lives of children. Students participate in hands-on advocacy projects and responsible activism with OMEP-Whittier College, our campus chapter of an international organization dedicated to children’s rights and wellbeing.
