The present report looks at the ways in which democracy and human rights are promoted through education in Europe today and puts forward priorities for action.

It shows that across Council of Europe member states, education is increasingly recognised as a tool for tackling radicalisation leading to terrorism, for successfully integrating migrants and refugees and for tackling disenchantment with democracy and the rise of populism. International co-operation in the area of education for democratic citizenship and human rights is growing, supporting national approaches by raising standards and allowing states to learn from each other’s experiences.
