In the search for a common ideological, ethical, and legal foundation, human rights serve as the unifying framework that organizes and structures coexistence in a free world. For a long time, educational curricula have called for learning processes about, with, and for human rights. This book takes this demand seriously, providing fundamental didactic contours for human rights education and exemplifying how human rights education takes shape in both school and extracurricular learning environments. Human rights education thus becomes the connecting framework between cultures and religions in the 21st-century world and offers fundamental responses to nationalism and racism.
