Citizenship and Human Rights Education for Change
The MOOC is part of EU CONVINCE (COmmoN Values INClusive Education), a joint project of ETUCE (European Trade Union Committee for Education), EFEE (European Federation of Education Employers) and ESHA (the European School Heads Association).
Co-funded by the Directorate-General Education of the European Commission, this 2-years project (2018-2020) is a direct answer to the current challenges, but also opportunities, of multiculturalism, diversity and social inclusion. In the light of the Paris Declaration, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 and the European Pillar of Social Rights, EU CONVINCE seeks to provide teachers, school leaders, and other education personnel, as well as the education community as a whole, with tools and methods to better deal with citizenship related issues both in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities, as well as support them in the delivery of inclusive quality education to all.
EU CONVINCE selected the Global Campus of Human Rights for the design, implementation and delivery of the MOOC.
