St Patrick's College included in International Compendium of Good Practice in Human Rights Education

The work of St Patrick’s College to ensure that all education students have access to human rights, citizenship, global and intercultural education has been recognised internationally with the recent publication of an international compendium of good practice.  The Compendium published jointly by OSCE, The Council of Europe, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and UNESCO features exemplary practices covering all levels and areas of education in Europe, Central Asia and North America. 

The Centre for Human Rights and Citizenship Education in St Patrick’s College developed a Framework to embed development, inter-cultural and human rights education within the initial education of primary school teachers.  This Framework is developmental and includes both dedicated and integrated elements.  New courses have been introduced and are currently being taken by all BEd and Post Graduate Certificate in Education Students.

St Patrick's College would like to acknowledge the support of Irish Aid in funding initiatives on Development, Human Rights and Intercultural Education in the College.
