Its Board of Directors is primarily composed of human rights activists, artists and educators. HRX promotes international human rights through the arts and education and assists the development and implementation of international human rights law. HRX objectives involve bringing activists, artists and educators together in the struggle for human rights worldwide, including civil, political, social, economic, cultural and environmental rights articulated in international treaties and customary international human rights and humanitarian law. Rhythm traditions exist in every society. Events showcase music, arts and human rights issues.
People can drum, discuss and learn as they explore the relationship between arts and human rights.
HRX wants to bring drummers and human rights educators to local schools and recreation centers. Through the mechanics of the drum circle, children can have fun, learn to respect world cultures and gain an understanding of basic human rights concepts. The Sponsorship Program helps individuals develop ideas for projects. HRX provides guidance, organizational infrastructure and experience needed to create, research and write a substantive human rights project proposal. HRX works with other groups and individuals to develop strategies to promote and protect internationally recognized human rights and humanitarian standards.
