The co-ordinators for Education for democratic citizenship and human rights (EDC/HRE coordinators) are officially nominated contact persons whose main tasks are to ensure that Council of Europe information on this topic is disseminated in the member states and to keep international partners (CoE, network of coordinators, other international organisations when appropriate) informed of EDC/HRE developments in their own countries.

Most of the coordinators are representatives of Ministries of Education or similar professional bodies. At their meetings, the coordinators exchange information on recent developments in their countries, discuss future projects and identify possible solutions to common challenges. They provide feedback on the tools and manuals developed by the Council of Europe, and contribute to the organisation of the major events. Over the years, the network of EDC/HRE co-ordinators has become an active and influential community of professionals and decision-makers.

The 20th meeting of EDC/HRE Coordinators

The 20th meeting of the Network of Coordinators for Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education took place in Strasbourg on 14 and 15 November 2013. It was an opportunity for the Coordinators to present the recent developments in the field of citizenship and human rights education in their respective countries and to share with the network the challenges and priorities for the upcoming period. The Coordinators were also provided with an overview of the Council of Europe activities on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights in 2013 and with the objectives of the Programme for 2014. Finally, the preliminary results of the first cycle of pilot projects implemented within the framework of the EU/CoE Pilot Project Scheme on “Human Rights and Democracy in Action” were presented to the network. Discussions in working groups enabled to draw the conclusions from this first experience and to formulate recommendations to be considered in the 2014 cycle of pilot projects.
