Education plays an essential role in the promotion of the core values of the Council of Europe: democracy, human rights and the rule of law, as well as in the prevention of human rights violations. More generally, education is increasingly seen as a defence against the rise of violence, racism, extremism, xenophobia, discrimination and intolerance.

Have your say! Manual on the Revised European Charter on the Participation of Young People in Local and Regional Life

The brochure for children explores the principles of human rights and democracy, what we can all do to make them possible, and how education can be of help.

This is the report by the General Rapporteur, Katerina Toura, EDC/HRE Coordinator, Greece, from Conference on Human Rights and Democracy in Action: Addressing Extremism and Radicalisation through Education Project Showcase and Debate, organized by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France 24-25 September 2015

This manual was developed using principles of peer education, to enable young people between the ages of 15 – 25 to teach other young people about human rights. It is designed to be a basic introduction, with age-specific activities for younger and older children. The approach stresses the practical rather than theoretical.
