Building Partnerships for Citizenship and Human Rights Education
On 9-10th October 2008, a Forum on “Civic Partnerships for Citizenship and Human Rights Education” was organised by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg in the framework of the Swedish Presidency of the Committee of Ministers.
Partnerships between governments, regional and local authorities, civil society organisations and other relevant actors are essential for effective promotion of Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights (EDC/HRE). EDC/HRE is a set of educational practices and activities designed to help young people and adults to play an active part in democratic life and exercise their rights and responsibilities in society. There is already a wealth of good practices developed in this respect in the Council of Europe member states, but such partnerships need to be further developed and supported. The aim of the Forum was to produce recommendations on how this could be done at national and European level.
The participants of the Forum were officials from the 49 states party to the European Cultural Convention, representatives of international institutions, civil society and foundations active in the field of EDC/HRE. 300 participants from all over Europe attended this Forum.
Youth Express Network was represented at this Forum by Atom MKHITARYAN, our Vice-President.
