The 6th Asian Symposium on Human Rights Education: October 28-30, 2026 in Kyoto, Japan and Online »
Welcome to SHARE2026
In August 2014, the inaugural Asian Symposium on Human Rights Education was launched in Hiroshima, Japan during the Peace Memorial. This symposium continued to be be held annually in Hiroshima and other locations in Japan, but was postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is a special three-day, international and interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed special event.
human rights landscape has been greatly altered, with its ever-changing peaks and valleys, has made some noteworthy advances in promoting greater access to human rights on a global scale; however, they cannot overshadow the existing violations against humanity that are aggravated through the discrimination and marginalization of peoples.
Human rights, which are deeply intertwined with a nation’s social, political, and economic rights, are critical to a nation’s wellbeing and global peace. Unfortunately, the problems facing them today are widespread and complex, challenging customs and prejudices that are deeply ingrained in the social fabric of a society. At the forefront in the battle for equality today are women, indigenous people, and minorities, to name a few. In many parts of the world, their rights and path to self-determination are obstructed by systematic discrimination and inequality, resulting in varying degrees of abuse, violence, inadequate wages, forced labor, suppression of speech, and overall disempowerment.
With the theme of Uncharted Waters, ICERE 2024 welcomes proposals of 300 words in English that consider unique perspectives on education, religion and ethics in a post-pandemic world.
