Compasito, Manual on human rights education for children

Alain Berset For children to fully exercise their rights, they must know what these rights are. Learning about them makes children more aware and resilient and strengthens their ability to act as human rights defenders, both in their own interests and by advocating for others. It enables them to learn and practice democratic values as citizens.

This is why human rights education matters for all ages.

Compasito is a unique tool. This online manual is a reference which strengthens the work done in schools through non-formal education and youth work activities. The learning creates awareness, understanding and respect for human rights. Children are supported to exercise their rights in different environments and aspects of their lives.

I wish users of this manual success in bringing human rights closer to the lives of children and young people. I have no doubt that this will benefit them in the here and now and prove а valuable long-term investment for democracy in our societies.  

Alain Berset, Secretary General
