[hr-education] Re: Human rights/children's rights values

Dear Wim (and other colleagues), 

In the pedagogical handbook (in French and Dutch) developed for the
Belgian pilot project "Schools for Democracy"
(http://www.schools-democracy.be), we had a module on the theme of respect
(other modules addressing the themes of "identity", "participation", and
"world-mindedness"). The term "tolerance" was not used, for the very
reasons Michael Kerr elaborated on in his message.

The pedagogical handbook is available at the Centre for Equal
Opportunities and Opposition to Racism in Brussels, Belgium.

Good luck with your interesting project!
