Background:
UNRWA has been teaching Human Rights, Conflict Resolution and Tolerance (HRCRT) Education in its schools since 1999. In 2012, UNRWA developed an HRCRT Policy to strengthen and harmonize HRCRT Education across all Fields. In 2013, an HRCRT Toolkit was developed as a practical guide for UNRWA teachers to help them create and sustain a culture of human rights in their classrooms and schools in line with the HRCRT Policy. Both the Policy and the Toolkit seek to empower Palestine refugee students, encouraging them to know and exercise their rights, uphold the rights of others, be proud of their Palestinian identity, and contribute to their society in a positive way. UNRWA has also elected School Parliaments, as part of its HRCRT Programme, since 1999. Every year, UNRWA schools hold elections to form the School Parliaments and the elected students are tasked with representing all students and supporting their local communities. School Parliaments have been a key vehicle for the promotion of respect for rights, democratic practices, and tolerance.
UNRWA Education Department at Headquarters oversees the successful implementation of HRCRT Policy and supports School Parliaments in all UNRWA schools.
To ensure that all teachers receive the same quality of training and develop homogeneous background knowledge on HRCRT Toolkit and Policy, the Education Department is in the process of developing an HRCRT online training course for UNRWA teachers. It will be hosted on UNRWA Moodle (iLearn) Platform.
The HRCRT self-paced online training will consist of a set of interactive e-lessons. Each e-lesson is a linear sequence of screens which can include text, graphics, animations, audio, video and interactivity in the form of assessment questions and feedback. The e-lessons will also include recommended reading and links to UNRWA resources. The full course material will be provided by the UNRWA Education Department in both Arabic and English.
The purpose of this consultancy is to support the Education Department and the Information Management and Technology Division (IMTD) in the design of the HRCRT Programme Online Training Course hosted on UNRWA Moodle (iLearn Platform), in Arabic and English.
