Title: Companion
Subtitle: A Campaign Guide About Education and Learning for Change in Diversity, Human Rights and Participation (2007) (Human Rights Education/Intercultural Education)
Description: This publication provides a stimulus for common action to promote diversity, participation and human rights. It seeks to bring attention both to the issues themselves and the methods used to address them. Racism, social exclusion, disempowered minorities and deficient participation are problems that can neither be solved overnight, nor by singular efforts. These problems need sustained, long-term attention which focuses on changing basic attitudes, redressing structural injustices, empowering the socially excluded and enabling properly functioning democratic societies. Education plays a key role in these pursuits and therefore needs to be at the center of this campaign, and beyond. This guide is intended to support campaigners, activists and educators to advocate and educate to reach these goals.--Publisher's description.
