This inaugural issue of the Human Rights Education in Asia-Pacific series tries to capture the diversity and richness of the human rights education experiences in the Asia-Pacific region. By compiling various experiences in one volume, it creates linkages between formal and non-formal human rights education initiatives at the local, national and regional levels. The main objective of this publication therefore is to present such diverse, ground level human rights education experiences and discuss their achievements, issues, challenges and potentials. Just like the Human Rights Education in Asian Schools volumes (also published by HURIGHTS OSAKA), this publication is designed mainly for practitioners – the workers at the ground level.
