Trainings and Awareness Raising Actions

How we work

We focus on five action areas to achieve our aim of building and sustaining a culture of democracy and human rights in education.

How we work

What is education for democratic citizenship and human rights? Why is it important for our societies? How can each of us contribute to make peaceful coexistence based on human rights a reality? Watch the short video to find out! The video is produced by the European Wergeland Centre (Oslo), a privileged partner of the Council of Europe. The production of the video was funded through a grant of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
