About us
This website provides human rights education resources. It aims to equip teachers, museum workers and youth facilitators with interactive methodology and participatory learning methods relevant to the life experience of young people. Such methods represent active, exploratory and inspiring forms of learning. Special attention is given to museums and their role in human rights education of young people. Innovative methods such as video laboratories and dialogues about rights are presented. The content is developed in 11 modules which introduce young people to the full spectrum of human rights, help them identify problems and seek solutions.
The modules provide knowledge and increase awareness of human rights principles and build young people’s competences to take the initiative to respect, protect and promote human rights for all. Values of dignity, respect, inclusion and equality are an integral part of the process of human rights education.
