Produktbeschreibung
The United Nations General Assembly adopted a Decade for Human Rights Education which started in 1995 and lasted until 2004. With a resolution UN member states not only assured the adoption of the relevant human rights documents, but also to start educating their populations about the rights which every human being has simply through their humanity. This volume gives insights into the analysis of human rights education efforts, programmes, school curricula development and case studies in different European countries during the period of the UN Decade. Authors from different academic disciplines, various international organisations, and European NGOs focus on the consequences of human rights education on the life of vulnerable groups, in this case on ethnic and national minorities in Europe.
