Bridging our Diversities: A Compendium of Good Practices in Human Rights Education
Intended Audience
“This Compendium is intended to be of use to a wide range of individuals and organizations. These audiences include practitioners and organizations within the human rights education field, and those within global education and academic fields, such as human rights law, political science and sociology. This Compendium also serves as a tool for government authorities and civil society organizations.”
- Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and Equitas
“Bridging Our Diversities: A Compendium of Good Practices in Human Rights Education compiles lessons learned and good practices in human rights education shared by participants during the Montréal conference. In doing so, the Compendium does not review or cover exhaustively all human rights education work worldwide, but rather focuses on the Canadian experience. Nevertheless, the lessons learned, good practices and examples it contains - the details of which are reliant on information submitted by relevant practitioners - can provide guidance and inspiration to others for further human rights education programming.” (p.7)
