The Human Rights Education Notebook and governance: some similarities with documents from UNESCO and the United Nations Development Program

Abstract

The Human Rights Education Handbook (HREH) indicates that one trusts in the ability of governance processes for solving a significant part of educational problems. This belief is very similar to that which has also been expressed by several international organizations, political leaders, government officials and civil society organizations. These agents would have the task of establishing a network of actions and procedures to expand a form of education capable of transforming people into subjects who have rights and individuals with the ability to trigger significant changes in their lives and in the lives of other individuals who live around them. Through historical-hermeneutic documentary research it was concluded that the prescriptions indicated in the HREH regarding the instructions issued by the National Guidelines of the Education in Human Rights have similarities with the suggestions of generation of politics of connection put forward by various agents, and included in the UNDP Human Development Reports and the UNESCO Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Reports.
