Compass is a manual on human rights education providing youth leaders, teachers and other educators, whether professionals or volunteers, with concrete ideas and practical activities to engage, involve and motivate young people to form a positive awareness of human rights in their own ways and in their own communities. It promotes a broad understanding of human rights education – educational programmes and activities that focus on promoting equality in human dignity – and sees young people as a resource.

Developed by a multi-disciplinary and intercultural team of writers and educators, Compass is based on experimental and non-formal educational approaches that put the emphasis on the learners, their environment and their own concerns (working from young people’s starting points).

Compass offers different approaches and directions for everyone who is interested in human rights, democracy or citizenship.
