EIHR: The Educators' Institute for Human Rights

What EIHR: The Educators' Institute for Human Rights does

The Educators' Institute for Human Rights (EIHR) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2011 and headquartered in Washington, DC (c/o Mindspace), with a small staff of approximately 8 employees. The organization's mission centers on human rights education, genocide prevention, and peacebuilding. EIHR operates two interrelated programs: (a) international training programs and in-person workshops in post-conflict countries including Rwanda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ukraine; and (b) the Right to Learn (R2L) Coalition, a nonpartisan US-focused coalition of 25+ partner organizations (ACLU, PEN America, Amnesty International USA, African American Policy Forum, Learning for Justice, Human Rights Campaign Foundation, Discovery Education, AFT's Share My Lesson, and others) that defends educators' ability to teach about difficult histories and contemporary social issues including book challenges and classroom censorship. EIHR's primary outputs are educational publications ('Holocaust & Peace: Lessons from the Past for the Future,' 'Educator's Guide on Holocaust, Mass Atrocities Education and Peacebuilding in the Democratic Republic of Congo,' 'Imagine: Reflections on Peace'), a free Educator Resources Hub organized by topic (anti-racism, anti-bias, censorship, gender identity, history, civics), international workshops and conferences, and a Trauma and Resilience webinar series. The underlying technology is a Squarespace-hosted content portal with a free teacher login/signup flow, email newsletter distribution, social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube), and coalition-driven content amplification — there is no proprietary AI, software product, or public API.
