COUNCIL OF EUROPE: COMPASITO - Manual on human rights education for children

Submitted by crinadmin on

‘Compasito’ is a starting point for educators, teachers and trainers who are ready to deal with human rights education with children of 7-13 years.

The book familiarises the reader with the key concepts of human rights and children’s rights, and provides substantial theoretical background to 13 key human rights issues, such as democracy, citizenship, gender equality, environment, media, poverty, and violence.

The 42 practical activities serve to engage and motivate children to recognise human rights issues in their own environment. They help children to develop critical thinking, responsibility and a sense of justice, and help them learn how to take action to contribute to the betterment of their school or community. The manual also gives practical tips on how it can be used in various formal and non-formal educational settings.
