This e-learning course will introduce the international field of human rights education (HRE), including presentations of programming approaches, teaching and learning resources, and related theory. The course is intended for educators and trainers working in both the formal and non-formal sectors. Participants will be assisted in the development of a curriculum, training, or planning document to use these skills. Participants might be expected to apply these skills within formal education settings, for staff development within their own organisations, and/or for outreach and advocacy.
The course has the following sequence. First, it will introduce human rights education and foundational human rights standards and principles. This will be followed by treatment of related pedagogical theory. Ensuing sessions will be devoted to building practical skills and knowledge relating to program and lesson development, the organization of workshops and evaluation. The course concludes with a look at national and international policies supporting human rights education.
