Summary:
"Compasito is a manual designed to facilitate the practice of human rights education with children. Its primary users are adults active in formal and non-formal education with children. It provides ideas, inspiration, and practical help to explore human rights with children. It looks at children as young citizens of the present and as rights-holders who are competent in many issues related to their life. It builds on children’s motivations, experiences and their search for solutions. In Compasito, children’s rights are presented within the wider context of human rights as a whole. Thus, universal human rights and children’s rights are jointly presented in such a way that by understanding their own rights, children also understand that all human beings have human rights. The educational process builds on children's active participation, by which they learn about human rights and understand human rights issues, acquire skills and abilities to be able to defend human rights, and develop attitudes of respect for equality and dignity"--Publisher's description.
