Teaching human rights is a challenge for people from different fields and institutions. That’s why the Centre of Human Rights Education of the University of Teacher Education in Lucerne is organising the Human Rights Education Symposium in Lucerne. The topic of the Symposium in 2012 was the developing of teaching materials on human rights education. I took part on following workshops:

1. “Inklusion als Menschenrecht” Online Manual for Pedagogical Practice / Materials for Human Rights Education in simple Language (Dr. Claudia Lohrenscheit and Meike Günther, German Institute for Human Rights)
2. Toolkit Holocaust Education – Human Rights Education (Dr. Eva Sobotka, Equality and Citizens Rights Department, European Union Fundamental Rights Agency).

3. Human Rights Education (HRE)-Training for Civil Servants (Kirsten Roberts, Irish Human Rights Commission)
