Human Rights Friendly Schools projectAmnesty International supports schools and their wider communities to build a global culture of human rights. Adopting awhole-school approach, the Human Rights Friendly Schools project aims to empower young people and promote the active participation of all members of the school community to integrate human rights values and principles into key areas of school life. Developed by Amnesty International within the context of the UN World Programme for Human Rights Education, the Human Rights Friendly Schools project builds on and complements existing local and national initiatives undertaken in recent years. Based on lessons learned from the project pilot phase from 2009-2011, we are pleased to announce the release of a new resource: Becoming a Human Rights Friendly School: A guide for schools around the world Download the guide here in English: []
