—2nd Review of the Implementation of the Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education
The Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education, adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in 2010, emphasises the role of member states of the Council of Europe in making human rights education a reality for every person in Europe and the importance of quality education to promote the core values of the institution. The Charter provides the basis for advancing human rights education at local and regional level by defining objectives and principles applying to policy, legislation and practice. A review on the implementation of the Charter in the member states is done periodically. The aim of the periodic review is to map successes and challenges and help policy makers, practitioners and international organisations envisage measures to ensure access to quality human rights education for everyone in Europe.
