| Description |
|
This manual is for teachers and educators in Africa who work with young people both in formal and non-formal education. The resource is divided into several sections, including the background for human rights education; tools for teaching human rights (including teaching methods, lesson development, evaluation and organisation of training seminars); sample lessons; key human rights documents; and other resources for promoting human rights education. The model lessons contained in the manual are taken from a variety of sources, including Amnesty International specialists and other publications, and are used to illustrate various methodologies and topics for human rights education. "Siniko" is conceived as a learning tool for the teacher as well as a resource for organising activities in educational settings. The main purpose of the text is to familiarise teachers with the basic principles and approaches of human rights education and to give them tools for the development of their own lessons and teaching skill. Includes simplified versions of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. |
