, this paper examines how PIPs enhance students’ civic agency and understanding of human rights through a structured six-stage experiential learning framework. The framework positions faculty as mentors while empowering students as co-developers of community-centered advocacy projects. Analysis of student reflections, project outcomes, and authentic assessment practices reveals that PIPs foster significant transformations in students’ civic agency, practical skills, and commitment to advocacy. This paper contributes to human rights pedagogy by offering a replicable model for higher education curricula seeking to empower students as agents of change.
