Global Consultation on the World Programme for Human Rights Education
(14 June-18 July 2004)

From 14 June-18 July, HREA and partners organise a moderated forum discussion for non-governmental organisations and other civil society actors on the Global Human Rights Education listserv and six regional listservs, reaching over 10,000 educators and activists worlwide. The objective of this forum is to discuss ideas and strategies to strengthen human rights education at the national, regional and international levels as a follow-up to the Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004), including mobilisation strategies/mechanisms which could be proposed for consideration to the United Nations.

The forum has the following agenda:

14-20 June
Strategies for introducing HRE into primary and secondary school at the national level [español] [français] [russkiy]

21-27 June
Resources and tools necessary to support actors involved in HRE [español] [français] [russkiy]

28 June-4 July
National benchmarks for measuring and evaluating progress [español] [français] [russkiy]

5-11 July
Mechanisms for support and coordination at the national, regional and international levels [español] [français] [russkiy]

12-18 July
Synthesis of the discussion

Every Monday participants receive a "facilitation" message with questions regarding that week's topic. At the end of each week, the week's discussion is summarised and shared with all Global Consultation participants for additional comments. The summaries will be the basis for a report -- prepared by HREA and its regional partners the Asian Regional Resource Center for Human Rights Education (ARRC), Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies, Instituto Interamericano de Derechos Humanos (IIDH), Moscow School for Human Rights and l'Union Interafricaine des Droits de l'Homme (UIDH) -- to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and UNESCO, who will submit recommendations to the UN General Assembly.
