Human Rights Fundamentals Workshop
Starting at $350 · Half-day (3.5 hrs)A practical, accessible introduction to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and what it means for your organization. Grounded in real examples, designed for mixed audiences — nonprofit staff, faith communities, and businesses alike.
This is not a lecture. It is a structured conversation that helps your team understand what every person they work with is entitled to — and what that looks like in practice.

How It Works
No flash drives. No IT department. Just a browser.
Our workshops run on a custom digital platform built specifically for North Star. Here's what that means in practice.
| Traditional Training | North Star Approach |
|---|---|
| Requires flash drives, installed software, or pre-loaded slide decks | Fully browser-based — nothing to install or download |
| Facilitator controls a static deck on one screen | Facilitator and participants stay in sync in real time |
| Participants watch passively from their seats | Participants follow along on their own devices — present and engaged |
| Tech setup eats into session time | Minimal setup — a link and you're live |
| One screen, one voice | Every phone becomes a window into the workshop |
For in-person groups, a projector or large display is helpful — but not required. Participants follow along on their own phones, keeping them present and engaged. No cables, no clickers, no IT department. Open a browser and the room is ready.
