Human rights education

One of the biggest human rights educational programmes in Ukraine is the project “We understand human rights”.

The programme envisages impact on the formal education system and the development of informal human rights education.

The summing up of the work of the programme in 2009 came at the nationwide conference “Development of human rights education in Ukraine” from 29–30 October. 148 participants from Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Serbia, Norway and Moldova took part. Representatives of NGOs, the authorities, graduates of the programme shared experience and information about existing examples, initiatives, projects, programmes on human rights education in Ukraine and abroad. The situation with development of human rights education in Ukraine was discussed and an analysis made.

“The Human rights education in Ukraine programme” is a joint programme of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union and the Norwegian Helsinki Committee.
