Book excerpt: Human rights education (HRE) is a dynamic and evolving field that demands an ever more complex range of skills. Those involved in human rights education view themselves as professional educators or trainers who can plan, design, manage, develop and implement effective training sessions and programmes. Key to improving our practice as human rights educators is building our knowledge and skills in the area of evaluation. Being able to carry out effective evaluation enables us not only to improve the quality of our work, but also to be more accountable for the results.

Book Synopsis Speaking Out on Human Rights by : Pearl Eliadis
Download or read book Speaking Out on Human Rights written by Pearl Eliadis and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadians like to see themselves as champions of human rights in the international community. Closer to home, however, the human rights system in Canada - particularly its public institutions such as commissions and tribunals - has been the object of sustained debate and vehement criticism, based largely on widespread myths about how it works. In Speaking Out on Human Rights, Pearl Eliadis explodes these myths, analysing the pervasive distortions and errors on which they depend. Canada's human rights system, a unique legal tradition operating within a powerful modern constitution, is a fundamental mechanism for ensuring the practical application of our national commitment to tolerance and inclusion. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Canada's leading human rights experts and extensive original research, Eliadis explores the evolution of commissions and tribunals as vehicles of public policy and considers their mandate to mediate rights conflicts in such contested areas as hate speech, religious freedoms, and sexuality. She provides a frank assessment of how Canada's human rights system functions and argues that misplaced critiques have prevented urgent and necessary discussions about the reforms that are needed to improve fairness and equality before the law and to ensure institutional independence, impartiality, and competence. Speaking Out on Human Rights shows how our human rights system plays a unique and important role in the rights revolution both in Canada and internationally and offers promising avenues for its future development.
Book Synopsis Evaluation in the field of education for democracy, human rights and tolerance by : Katrin Hirseland
Download or read book Evaluation in the field of education for democracy, human rights and tolerance written by Katrin Hirseland and published by Bertelsmann Foundation Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to measure the impact of training programs on democracy, human rights, and tolerance education? Are there available tools to help determine the strengths and weaknesses of programs, teaching materials, methods, or individual training sessions? If so, which of these tools are the most useful? Approaching the issue of evaluation from a practitioner's point of view, this guide aims to fill a gap in the current literature. The authors introduce the reader to the issues of evaluation, its relevance, and implications for the fields of democracy, human rights, and tolerance education. By providing a framework for planning and implementing evaluations, the book approaches evaluation not as an end in itself, but as an integral part of project work and a learning opportunity for all those involved.
Book Synopsis Peace Education Evaluation by : Celina Del Felice
Download or read book Peace Education Evaluation written by Celina Del Felice and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practice and research of peace education has grown in the recent years as shown by a steadily increasing number of publications, programs, events, and funding mechanisms. The oft-cited point of departure for the peace education community is the belief in education as a valuable tool for decreasing the use of violence in conflict and for building cultures of positive peace hallmarked by just and equitable structures. Educators and organizations implementing peace education activities and programming, however, often lack the tools and capacities for evaluation and thus pay scant regard to this step in program management. Reasons for this inattention are related to the perceived urgency to prioritize new and more action in the context of scarce financial and human resources, notwithstanding violence or conflict; the lack of skills and time to indulge in a thorough evaluative strategy; and the absence of institutional incentives and support. Evaluation is often demand-driven by donors who emphasize accounting given the current context of international development assistance and budget cuts. Program evaluation is considered an added burden to already over-tasked programmers who are unaware of the incentives and of assessment techniques. Peace education practitioners are typically faced with forcing evaluation frameworks, techniques, and norms standardized for traditional education programs and venues. Together, these conditions create an unfavorable environment in which evaluation becomes under-valued, de-prioritized, and mythologized for its laboriousness. This volume serves three inter-related objectives. First, it offers a critical reflection on theoretical and methodological issues regarding evaluation applied to peace education interventions and programming. The overarching questions of the nature of peace and the principles guiding peace education, as well as governing theories and assumptions of change, transformation, and complexity are explored. Second, the volume investigates existing quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods evaluation practices of peace educators in order to identify what needs related to evaluation persist among practitioners. Promising practices are presented from peace education programming in different settings (formal and non-formal education), within various groups (e.g. children, youth, police, journalists) and among diverse cultural contexts. Finally, the volume proposes ideas of evaluation, novel techniques for experimentation, and creative adaptation of tools from related fields, in order to offer pragmatic and philosophical substance to peace educators’ “next moves” and inspire the agenda for continued exploration and innovation. The authors come from variety of fields including education, peace and conflict studies, educational evaluation, development studies, comparative education, economics, and psychology.
Book Synopsis Measuring the Impact of Peacebuilding Interventions on Rule of Law and Security Institutions by : Vincenza Scherrer
Download or read book Measuring the Impact of Peacebuilding Interventions on Rule of Law and Security Institutions written by Vincenza Scherrer and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2012-05-14 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, internationally-supported peacebuilding interventions have become increasingly prominent. Activities focusing on rule of law and security institutions are a key component of this agenda. Despite increasing calls for more rigorous analysis of the impact of peacebuilding interventions, conceptual advances have been limited. There is little clarity on what is working, what is not, and why. This SSR Paper seeks to address this gap by mapping relevant approaches and methodologies to measuring impact. It examines how international actors have approached these questions in relation to support to rule of law and security institutions in complex peacebuilding environments. Most significantly, the paper demonstrates that measuring impact is not only feasible but necessary in order to maximise the effectiveness of major international investments in this field.

Book Synopsis Globalisation, Human Rights Education and Reforms by : Joseph Zajda
Download or read book Globalisation, Human Rights Education and Reforms written by Joseph Zajda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the seventeenth instalment in the 24-volume series Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research, explores the interrelationship between ideology, the state and human rights education reforms, setting it in a global context. The book examines major human rights education reforms and policy issues in a global culture. It focuses on the ambivalent and problematic relationship between the state, globalisation and human rights education discourses. Using a number of diverse paradigms, ranging from critical theory to historical-comparative research, the authors examine the reasons for, and the outcomes of human rights education reforms and policy. The authors discuss discourses surrounding the major dimensions affecting the human rights education, namely national identity, democracy, and ideology. These dimensions are among the most critical and significant dimensions defining and contextualising the processes surrounding the nation-building, identity politics and human rights education globally. With this as its focus, the chapters represent hand-picked scholarly research on major discourses in the field of human rights education reforms. The book draws upon recent studies in the areas of globalisation, equality, and the role of the state in human rights education reforms. Furthermore, the perception of globalisation as dynamic and multi-faceted processes clearly necessitates a multiple-perspective approach in the study of human rights education. This book provides that perspective commendably. It also critiques current human rights education practices and policy reforms. It illustrates the way shifts in the relationship between the state and human rights education policy. In the book, the authors, who come from diverse backgrounds and regions, attempt insightfully to provide a worldview of current developments in research concerning human rights education, and citizenship education globally. The book contributes, in a very scholarly way, to a more holistic understanding of the nexus between nation-state, human rights education both locally and globally.

Book Synopsis Principled Engagement by : Morten B. Pedersen
Download or read book Principled Engagement written by Morten B. Pedersen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the best way to promote human rights in grossly repressive states when neither sanctions nor trade and investment have much effect? This book examines the concept of Principled Engagement as an often overlooked alternative strategy for alleviating human rights violations and improving the framework of human rights protection. Beginning with an explanation of the concept and a comparison with the alternatives of Ostracism and Business as Usual, the book argues that Principled Engagement deserves greater attention and explains how it works and what factors contribute to its success or failure. Case studies provide a rare scholarly inquiry into the effectiveness of the basic underlying ideas and analyse and assess specific cases, including from China, Burma, Zimbabwe and Liberia. Written by leading academics and practitioners, the book takes a general, comparative approach to human rights policy that teases out broad lessons about what works. Ultimately, this is a study that challenges scholars and practitioners alike to take a fresh look at how human rights are promoted internationally.
