The Human Rights and Citizenship Education (HRCE) training project aims principally at giving secondary school students of age 14 to 24 in the Republic of Mauritius, skills, knowledge and values that would further their personal growth and understanding of human rights and responsibilities as a citizen of the country.
The Human Rights and Citizenship Education training project has, as its primary objective, to strengthen and empower civic leadership in our democracy to our future generations. We are adamant on the fact that students need to possess adequate tools to be able to lead the civil society in a fair and impartial manner. Some of the salient topics that are covered during the HRCE training:
– What is the rule of law?
– What are the basic values and principles underlying an ‘État de droit’?
– What is politics and the Constitution?
– What are the underlying principles of a Republic?
– How does the parliament function?
– What are human rights and values?
The project will undoubtedly empower the participants with adequate knowledge, skills and values that would guide them to become responsible adults and hopefully great Human Rights leaders of tomorrow.
It would furthermore improve their interpersonal skills and enhance their critical and exploratory thinking, thus encouraging them to stand up for their rights and respect those of others, and to ultimately adapt to changes in an increasingly globalised environment. We at Dis-Moi strongly believe that the young generation should be equipped with the right tools and empowered with the requisite knowledge in order to become aware and show respect to the rights of every human being on the planet.
