ABOUT THE PROJECT

Non-formal education and the youth sector in Europe play vital roles in creating a human rights culture among young people. However, human rights education as a concept and practice is relatively new to this sector.
The main aim of ‘Education Trumps Hate: Toolbox’ for human rights educators’ training course is to equip youth workers and youth leaders with a new set of tools, methods, knowledge and skills to deliver human rights education activities in their ‘day to day’ work practices and to fight against the rise of violence, racism, extremism, xenophobia, discrimination and intolerance. 
This training is based on the non-formal learning methodology: learning from ‘hands-on’ experiences, self reflection and self assessment, experiences and expertise shares, as well as theoretical inputs.
 
The main focus will be put on:

  • Defining human rights education in the national and international youth work context;
  • Introductions and ‘hands on’ practices with Bookmarks, Compass and We Can manuals;
  • Sharing the best practice examples of human rights education within the youth work sector in participating countries;
  • Overview of ‘No Hate Speech Movement’;
  • Networking and development of future collaborations;
