human rights education
Teaching fundamental freedoms
Human rights education is teaching about fundamental rights and freedoms—what they are, where they come from, and how to protect them.
The field encompasses formal curricula in schools and universities, professional training for lawyers and law enforcement, and public awareness campaigns.
Beyond conveying information, human rights education aims to cultivate values of dignity and equality: The workshop included human rights education for new police recruits.
