ACRI: Human Rights Education for Arab Teachers
A human rights educational program for teachers in the Israeli Arab school system, designed to promote community empowerment and education. Each year, ACRI trains hundreds of teachers from Israeli Arab educational institutions on how to integrate instruction about human rights into their regular curricula.

Prior to the competition, students participate in workshops and seminars about human rights and are then able to explore these issues through their artwork. Following the competition, ACRI organizes a traveling exhibition of the students art projects, exposing their work to crowds throughout Northern Israel.
