This publication is a baseline mapping of the extent and range of human rights education taking place in Ireland. The IHRC study was guided and informed by the UN World Programme on Human Rights Education’s (WPHRE) definition of human rights education and the WPHRE Action Plans. In the report, the Commission attempts to chart the extent of human rights education and training across a range of sectors including formal primary and secondary education, higher education, the community and voluntary sector, the civil and public sector and the legal profession in Ireland. We believe that the study is timely as the 2nd Phase of the WPHRE unfolds.
