Encompassing Human Rights Education
with young people |
In 2000, the
Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe
launched a Human Rights Education Youth Programme
with the aim of "bringing human rights education into
the mainstream of youth work and youth policy".
 The
programme has built on the potential of youth
work and non-formal learning to strengthen human rights,
while human rights education has contributed to
anchoring youth work and non-formal education within the
human rights ethical, political and normative framework
of the Council of Europe. This publication is a review
of the main activities and achievements of this
programme.
