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, it aims to develop and disseminate examples of excellence in this field, and serve as a focal point for the critique of policy and for the creation, evaluation, exchange and dissemination of information and resources.

While the main focus of its research is on education, it is interdisciplinary in its approach and supports research into citizenship and human rights across the Humanities. The centre is committed to developing a democratic, participative, and inclusive approach to education, based on the principles of freedom, equality, justice and peace. 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.
