The 12th World Educational Tour 2015 will circle the globe to countries including Albania, Belgium, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Macedonia, Mexico, Nepal, St. Kitts & Nevis, Taiwan, UK and the USA.

Over the past decade, the World Educational Tours have reached out approximately 450,000 miles and visited some 80 countries meeting with youth, educators, and various dignitaries, including kings, heads of government and officials of the United Nations and Commonwealth of Nations.

Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) is a non-profit corporation founded in 2001 in Los Angeles. The purpose of YHRI is to teach youth about human rights, specifically the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and inspire them to become advocates for tolerance and peace.

YHRI has produced easy-to-understand materials to teach the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights including the YHRI Educator's handbook, the multiple award winning music video, UNITED, and other videos and human rights education materials. YHRI audiovisual products have reached more than 350 million around the world in more than 20 languages.

YHRI has pursued this purpose by collaborating with like-minded individuals, groups and organizations, both locally and throughout the world. As a result, YHRI has expanded to affiliated clubs, groups and chapters that span the globe.

The 12th World Educational Tour 2015 will have meetings, workshops and events, form new friendships and collaborations and promote Human Rights Education in eleven countries. Regional summits along the route will include additional countries to expand human rights education.
