Human Rights Education Associates (HREA) - an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) that supports human rights learning and training, the development of educational materials and programming, and community-building through on-line technologies - has developed a directory to provide a resource for individuals, communities, and organisations that are looking for assistance with human rights activities or want to exchange information. Through the directory one can identify trainers or curriculum developers, explore potential partnerships, or share an interest in certain thematic areas. In 2008, nearly 1,200 educators from over 130 countries have registered with the directory. In order to protect the privacy of those listed, the directory is password protected and will only be accessible to those who have registered.
