In order to improve the capacity of non-governmental organizations to better deliver human rights education programmes, efforts are needed to support them through training programmes which will involve organization, evaluation and fund raising aspects. The use of case study and practical teaching methods targeted for each societal or professional group should be promoted. In this way the relevance of human rights to their respective situation and professional activity may be fully understood. Human rights education should take place in an interdisciplinary context, acknowledging cultural, economic and social dimensions. It is to be recognized that in many countries human rights education may be promoted through programmes of citizenship education.
Democratic citizenship is dependent on human rights education.
At the same time, human rights education is an essential component of education for democratic citizenship. Teaching methods should thus be participatory, so that methods support aims. The entire school environment should be operated according to human rights values at all levels of education. Education programmes in human rights are more likely to be successful if they are introduced in collaboration with, rather than on behalf of, target groups. Human rights education strategies should be developed with these target groups, particularly marginalized groups, for example, minorities, women, and children.
