Navigating Social Justice in Today's Classroom
with Hardwired Global
Students and teachers across the United States face a growing challenge: how do you navigate today’s divisive social issues, and live according to your own conscience among your peers — particularly those with whom you disagree? Hardwired’s solution is to embed respect for human dignity and freedom of conscience in the culture of the classroom. Since 2013, Hardwired has been equipping teachers around the world to counter intolerance and develop a greater respect for the inherent rights and dignity among their students. We have developed innovative teaching methods that have been used with success in other countries, and we are bringing our global experience and resources to you here in this session.

About Hardwired Global
Hardwired is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States with Special Consultative Status at the United Nations. We work to strengthen peace and human rights around the world by advancing the freedom of religion, conscience or belief.
The organization takes a unique approach to advancing this fundamental right through its education and training programs. We train teachers and community leaders who can influence local support for changes in laws, policies and the education systems in countries where this freedom is most at risk. Hardwired has been able to spread the message of freedom of belief and conscience in environments that are often hostile to this freedom – and it’s working.
