Democracy and Human Rights Education in Vocational Education and Training Institutions: Staff and Management Perspectives

The realisation of democracy and human rights in society can be promoted through democracy and human rights education. As an arena for this, vocational education and training has its own particular challenges, opportunities and good practices. This project focused specifically on these. The project was executed from the perspective of staff and management, and it was conducted over a period of six months.

The project was commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Culture, in collaboration with the Finnish National Agency for Education. It was part of the implementation of the Child Strategy.
