The 9th ICHRE is now live! See: http://ichre2018.com.au        

I write now to invite you to attend the 9th International Conference on Human Rights Education (9th ICHRE) which I will be convening at Western Sydney University, Parramatta Campus, Sydney, Australia on 26-29 November 2018. The working title is: 9th International Conference on Human Rights Education – Unleashing the Full Potential of Civil Society.

The call for papers has been isssued – ‘save the date’ and consider putting your proposal forward now especially if you are involved with human rights education as academic thinker, international and government official, NGOs and human rights and education practitioner or if you work with grass-roots human rights issues in developing countries.

The 9th ICHRE will coincide with and celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the 25th anniversary of the Vienna Declaration which highlighted the value of human rights education.

The Conference will consider the range of human rights education issues such as national and international curricula, pedagogy and best practices. It will address contemporary challenges and how to effectively address them. Attention will be given to the most effective ways of maximising the potential of civil society through human rights education. The delivery of lasting solutions and strengthening the practical knowledge and skills of participants, including through human rights education workshops, will be the key objectives.

Looking forward to seeing you at the 9th ICHRE in Sydney this November.
