Education and engagement

The Alberta Human Rights Commission has a number of programs and services to educate and engage with Albertans and Alberta organizations in human rights and diversity. Information and promotional resources, education programs and other services, such as workshops, displays, online learning, and consultations with organizations, help to build awareness of human rights principles and law and support individuals and organizations to create discrimination-free, welcoming and inclusive communities, organizations and workplaces.

Through initiatives such as the Coalition of Inclusive Municipalities and the Welcoming and Inclusive Communities initiative, the Commission engages with various sectors of society to help build organizational and community capacity to prevent and combat racism and other forms of discrimination.

Between 1988 and 2019, the Commission was responsible for administering
the Human Rights Education and Multiculturalism Fund. The Fund complemented and supported the human rights and diversity work of community organizations and the Commission.
