How to Define Human Rights Education? A Complex Answer to a Simple Question. Nancy Flowers.
* Shulamith Koenig (PDHRE): She posted a definition of HRE via a lively electronic debate & invited reactions. 3000 reactions from HR Educators around the world were strikingly different in illustrating the ways HRE is practiced.
The Problem of the conflicting definitions • The Governmental bodies: • Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) • Academics and educational thinkers.
The Problem of Theory • In Moscow, Lenin had declaired:. “Without a revolutionary theory, there can be no revolutionary movement.” (Lenin 1966: 69) • Paulo Freire’s revolutionary theory. • From Practice to Theory.
The problem of faith: • Human Right Education is based on strength of feelings. • Uniting all people on Human Rights Principles. • Human Rights are founded on solidarity with humanity. • Freire conveyed that Human Rights are the Human Feelings and the common language of humanity.
