The Human Rights Tour workshops empower college students to build grassroots campaigns focusing on progressive issues that are pertinent to their lives and communities. They bring together student activists and provide tools for linking students with causes that they care about. The workshops also provide a means for sustaining, nurturing, and growing HRAT goals and ideology at each school the tour stops at long after the tour has left the campus.

1. Each workshop is a one hour long event that includes group work in which students focus on leadership, organizing, media, diversity, and ways to create change within their university system.

2. Workshops also feature breakout sessions designed to help participants create and cultivate their own ideas and strategies to best fit their university setting for organizing action around specific issues they are interested in.

3. At the end of each workshop students are asked to formulate an action game plan to implement in their school or community. Workshop administrators ask students to draw out the action plan and to break it down into steps that can be followed through with and initiated immediately. Students participating in the workshops will be asked to give the HRAT updates on their action plan progress in order to maintain an exchange of ideas that will continually better their plans and make sure they are successful. 

Fair Trade/Sweatshop Free Workshop- This workshop is designed to help students create an action plan to bring Sweatshop Free clothing and Fair Trade products to their university and surrounding community. The workshop will feature an educational introduction into the world of Fair Trade and Sweatshop Free merchandise, teach students how to create demand and promote these products, and show students how to successfully bring the products into the market they have created. The focus of the workshop will be teaching students how to organize their school into making the switch to Fair Trade/Sweatshop Free goods.

General Activism Workshop- This workshop is designed to help students create an action plan to continue the HRAT goals of raising awareness and designing education programs about Human Rights issues once the tour leaves. The action plan will focus on continuing efforts to positively promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, non-profit organization campaigns, and grassroots community building and organizing. The tour will work with students to build a large support network and community at their school and in their community. When the HRAT passes through the university or city again in the future, the tour will call upon those student organizers to create peaceful rallies to promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Green Symposium Workshop- This workshop is designed to introduce students to the HRAT's 31st Green article campaign calling for the addition of a 31st article to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that defines a human right to a clean environment.  Students will learn the about the ideology behind the campaign which is to create a singular approach to human rights and environmental issues that have in the past been regarded as conflicting movements.  The action plan will focus on empowering students to embrace their own “greenrights” and to create a campaign either at their university that continues the 31^st article Green Campaign or in their community that addresses current “greenrights” violations.
