educators, teachers and trainers who are ready to deal with human rights
education with children of 7-13 years. The book familiarizes the reader with
the key concepts of human rights and children’s rights, and provides
substantial theoretical background to 13 key human rights issues, such as
democracy, citizenship, gender equality, environment, media, poverty, and
violence.

critical thinking, responsibility and a sense of justice, and help them learn
how to take action to contribute to the betterment of their school or
community. The manual also gives practical tips on how it can be used in
