About Event

Human rights education can be defined as education, training and information aimed at building a universal culture of human rights. A comprehensive education in human rights not only provides knowledge about human rights and the mechanisms that protect them, but also imparts the skills needed to promote, defend and apply human rights in daily life. Human rights education fosters the attitudes and behaviours needed to uphold human rights for all members of society.
Human rights education activities should convey fundamental human rights principles, such as equality and non-discrimination, while affirming their interdependence, indivisibility and universality. At the same time, activities should be practical - relating human rights to learners’ real-life experience and enabling them to build on human rights principles found in their own cultural context. Through such activities, learners are empowered to identify and address their human rights needs and to seek solutions consistent with human rights standards. Both what is taught and the way in which it is taught should reflect human rights values, encourage participation and foster a learning environment free from want and fear.
This training programme will develop the capacity of participants to engage in human rights education - to foster knowledge, skills, attitudes and action for the protection and promotion of human rights among teachers and students using rights-based teaching methods. This programme will include participatory learning activities and active discussion that draws on participants’ own knowledge and perspectives. Participants will:
-Learn key human rights concepts, international law and strategies for human rights advocacy
-Be introduced to and practice rights-based teaching approaches, which include participatory, interactive and experiential learning methods that respect human rights.
-Design and facilitate a human rights learning activity
-Learn how human rights education can meet state standard requirements
Programme content will be tailored to meet the needs and interests of participants.
