The Deputy Secretary General delivered a speech at the joint session of the 2017 HELP Network Conference and the Conference “Learning to Live Together - A Conference on the Future of Citizenship and Human Rights Education in Europe”. The HELP Annual  Conference focused on HELP’s mission for friendly justice. The Conference on the Future of Citizenship and Human Rights Education provided a forum to present and discuss the findings of the forthcoming Report on the State of Citizenship and Human Rights Education in Europe. The joint session offered the opportunity to explore the links and share best practices between human rights education at various stages of the educational process, as well as in life-long learning, on one hand, and post-university human rights education of legal professionals, on the other.

The Deputy Secretary General noted that “to create the open, democratic, and tolerant societies upheld by human rights, we must educate citizens so that they can understand them, demand them and live by them, and educate employers and professionals so that they can provide and enforce them.”
