A set of tools for promoting democracy and human rights through
education was developed by the Council of Europe based on its member states’
experiences and expertise in this area, and is now known as an “EDC/HRE Pack”.
It includes publications specifically addressed to policy makers, teacher
trainers, school directors, school inspectors, universities and civil society
organisations. These tools will also be of interest to all those concerned with
the well-being of our societies and the role of education in this respect.
The educational resource book “Human Rights Education in the School
Systems of Europe, Central Asia and North America: A Compendium of Good
Practice” collects 101 exemplary practices of human rights education, education
for democratic citizenship, and education for mutual respect and understanding.
The resource book was published by the OSCE/ODIHR, OHCHR, UNESCO and Council of
Europe, with HREA.

The “Living Democracy” manuals provide teachers with high-quality lesson materials which have been tested by educators in several countries and are flexible enough to enable both experienced and trainee teachers to introduce citizenship and human rights education into their schools in a fun, interactive and challenging way. They draw on expert authors from different parts of Europe and cover the whole age range from primary to secondary or high school.
