Human Rights Education: Reflections on Theory and Practice

This major new study focuses on human rights education in theory and practice. It has three main themes that are connected and developed over a range of international contexts. The first theme addresses the role of human rights teaching in education for sustainable development. The second theme is the rights of children in education. The third theme locates human rights education in curriculum design and classroom practice. This book, which brings together a range of papers originally presented at a conference hosted by the Center for Human Rights and Citizenship Education in St. Patrick's College in Dublin, makes an important contribution to the current thinking and best practice in human rights education.
