The Centre for Human Rights and Citizenship Education is an initiative of St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra with the support and collaboration of Amnesty International (Irish Section).

As a dedicated centre for training and research on education for human rights, citizenship and democracy in schools, the Centre aims to:

  • Develop and disseminate examples of excellence in human rights and citizenship education
  • Serve as a focal point for the critique of policy
  • Serve as a focal point for the creation, evaluation, exchange and dissemination of information and resources

The Centre is interdisciplinary in its approach and supports research into citizenship education and human rights across the primary, secondary and third level education sectors.

The centre is committed to developing a democratic, participative, and inclusive approach to education, based on the principles of freedom, equality, global justice and peace.

The Centre supports the integration of human rights content and approaches in teacher education courses, particularly in St. Patrick’s College, Drumcondra.

It aims to work with and support schools as model communities, in which there is respect for the individual, for difference, and for equality of rights.

It is committed to promoting the full participation of children in education and undertakes to ensure that the voices of children are recognised and heard in the work of the centre.
