Exploring Humanitarian Law - EHL: Educational Modules for Young People
By International Committee of the Red Cross and EDC (Marilyn Clayton Felt, Susan Christie Woodward, Marjorie Jones, Barbara S. Powell et. al)
Exploring Humanitarian Law (EHL) is a multimedia program designed to introduce youth (age 13 - 18) worldwide to the spirit and principles of international humanitarian law. EHL modules provide thirty hours of classroom "explorations" that use active learning techniques. The program was pilot tested internationally; it is available in 15 languages with full translations in 23 languages scheduled by the end of 2003. Materials are designed for use in both school and non-formal education sites. The program includes materials for national ministries of education, administrators, and teachers, and provides help with fitting the program into the national secondary school curriculum framework, other implementation and adaptation issues, and teacher training and workshops in participatory learning techniques. The program includes a videotape for learners which is a set of clips exploring the experience of war, and a videotape for teachers which
shows classroom use of the materials in the pilot sites.
