Guide on human rights education curriculum development

In this guide, we take you step-by-step through the different phases of curriculum development and suggest sample curricula on human rights for four subjects across pre- primary and lower primary, upper primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary level.

We hope to inspire you to develop context adjusted and explicit human rights education curricula with a clear linkage to the international human rights system, while also remaining practical, participatory, and relevant for pupils and their context.

We also hope to bring conceptual clarity on human rights education and curriculum development and provide concrete suggestions on how to build human rights curricula fit for 21st century human rights challenges, while contributing to the realisation of the SDG goals and targets set by the international community.
