On 7-8 October 2014 the International Contact Group on citizenship and human rights education will meet in Paris.

The participants will discuss current challenges and opportunities in the area of education for democracy and human rights, share information about the on-going activities and future strategies of the partner institutions, and will continue to develop synergies and cooperation through a number of selected initiatives, in particular in the framework of the the UN World Programme for Human Rights Education.

The International Contact Group on citizenship and human rights education was set up in 2011 with a view to ensure close co-operation among regional and international initiatives in this field.
