The objective of this manual is to support teachers and practitioners in Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education (EDC/HRE) – teacher trainers, head teachers, inspectors, textbook authors and editors. It focuses on key questions about EDC and HRE.
As this book is not a treatise on EDC/HRE, it allows the user to read and use the chapters and materials selectively. Part 1 of this manual, on the other hand, outlines the basic principles of EDC/HRE as far as they are helpful and meaningful for the practitioner. Part 2 gives guidelines and tools to design, support and assess the students’ processes of constructivist learning. Part 3 provides tools for teachers and students in EDC/HRE. The user will find that these guidelines and tools not only give support in EDC/ HRE, but are for good teaching in general.
