All around the world, we have put on masks to protect ourselves and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Yet the pandemic has also taken masks off so many human rights issues. Our free, open-sourced unMASKing: The Pandemic Curriculum Project provides educators with a roadmap to guide students, in a supportive and inclusive way, as they process these difficult and complex issues, explore the local and global impacts of COVID-19, and share their experiences.

 
 
 
“As a high schooler during the pandemic, I’ve seen firsthand the significance of the unMASKing Pandemic Curriculum. As teens, our views on current events are often not taken seriously. However, the unMASKing curriculum empowers us to share our views and opens our eyes to the history we’re living through during these unprecedented times, directly tackling human rights issues. It encourages us to freely express our experiences in order to work towards the issues of today, for a better tomorrow. unMASKing is truly an imperative for students.”

VII is a storied photo agency founded a few days before 9/11 to challenge the convergence in the photography business when the trend for giant companies swallowing smaller independent agencies started. VII went small and photographer-owned, believing in the power and energy of collective effort when everyone else seemed to be going big and corporate. VII remains a disruptive and innovative business, unafraid to swim against the prevailing currents.
