| Description |
|
This manual aspires to be a global tool for human rights education (HRE), including legal texts, theoretical background on human rights and HRE and on key human rights issues. Its core remains
the methods, activities, exercises or games that make it practical for users. "Compass" provides youth leaders, teachers and other educators, with concrete ideas and practical activities to engage, involve and motivate young people to form a positive awareness of human rights in their own ways in their own communities. It promotes a broad understanding of HRE programmes and activities that focus on promoting equality in human dignity and sees young people as a resource. A central element in the philosophy of "Compass" is that the facilitator(s) (teachers, group leaders, trainers) do not need to have any special previous training. Chapter 1 familiarises the reader with what we mean by human rights education and how to use "Compass". Chapter 2 contains more than 49 activities of different levels of complexity, organised according to 15 global themes and address different types of rights (children's rights, citizenship, democracy, discrimination and xenophobia, education, environment, gender
equality, globalisation, health, human security, media, peace and
violence, poverty, social rights, and sport) Chapter 3 ("Taking action") contains ideas and tips for those that would like to be more active in promoting human rights. Chapter 4 discusses what the user needs to know about human rights and international standards and documents. Chapter 5 provides supplementary background information about the 15 themes. |
