Description Service-learning is a method whereby learners learn and develop through active participation in a service that is conducted in their communities. Usually it is coordinated with an elementary school, secondary school, institution of higher education, or community service programme and the community. Service-learning fosters civic responsibility and is integrated into and enhances the academic curriculum of the learners. The manual contains lessons and service-learning projects. The lesson plans are divided into five human rights topic areas: environment, poverty, discrimination, children's rights to education and health, and law and justice. This manual aims to: engage educators currently utilising service-learning in the practice of human rights education; enable human rights educators and trainers to teach through service-learning; and provide the tools and building blocks for educators to promote human rights education and service-learning far beyond the scope of the activities included in this manual.
