Research in Human Rights Education Papers Series; No. 1

The first issue of the Research in Human Rights Education Papers Series is a comparative study on models of human rights training. “Human Rights Training for Adults: What Twenty-six Evaluation Studies Say About Design, Implementation and Follow-Up” examines trainings for human rights defenders, police officers, government officials and the general public. Among its main recommendations are: 1) programmes need to more consistently deliver the interactive, experiential and transformative adult education methodologies that they all agree are essential to effective human rights training; 2) programmes need to emphasise comprehensive mechanisms to follow-up with participants after the formal training programme is complete; and 3) programmes should explore how they might carry out reliable and comprehensive research and documentation of their work as the HRE field as a whole lacks solid longitudinal evaluation data on the long-term impact of human rights trainings on participants.
