The manual introduces a theoretical background of human rights education for children. It outlines concepts and human rights mechanisms from the European and international perspectives. It provides 42 practical learning activities under thirteen selected human rights themes. The appendices include the relevant European human rights documents in a child-friendly format. Each chapter can be downloaded as a separate document.
