The 3rd Compass Forum on Human Rights Education is being held at the European Youth Centre in Budapest from 5 to 7 October.
Using the slogan “Learning Equality, Living Dignity”, the forum brings together about 120 participants, including experts with extensive experience in educating young people in human rights at local, national, and international levels. Participants will discuss the progress in ensuring the quality, recognition and outreach of human rights education in Europe and beyond during the past seven years since the previous forum.
Also on the agenda for those taking part, the challenges that professionals in formal and non-formal education face in the current social, political and economic context. They will also look at the implementation of the Council of Europe Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education and make proposals for its future application in mainstreaming human rights education in youth work and youth policy.
The Forum is an activity held under the current Estonian Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe and contributes to promoting the fundamental values of the Council of Europe and to protecting rights of young people and children, which is among the priorities of the Estonian Chairmanship.
