Higher Education and Democratic Culture: Citizenship, Human Rights and Civic Responsibility (Council of Europe Higher Education Series No.8) Year of publication: 2008 Author: Josef Huber | Ira Harkavy Corporate author: Council of Europe This book on the responsibility of higher education for a democratic culture is the 8th volume in the Council of Europe's Higher Education series. It is the direct result of a Higher Education Forum held in June 2006 on the responsibility of higher education for citizenship, human rights and sustainability. This forum was a part of the Council of Europe's long-standing commitment to work in the area of education for democratic citizenship and human rights. It complements earlier work on the public responsibility for higher education and research which led to a recommendation of the Committee of Minister to the member states of the Council of Europe in 2007. If our aim is to work for sustainable democratic societies, the responsibility of public authorities for a high-quality higher education system must go hand in hand with the responsibility of higher education institutions towards the advancement of society.

COMPASS: a manual on human rights education with young people Year of publication: 2012 Author: Patricia Brander Corporate author: Council of Europe Compass was first published in 2002 within the framework of the Human Rights Education Youth Programme of the Directorate of Youth and Sport of the Council of Europe. The programme was created because human rights education – meaning educational programmes and activities that focus on promoting equality in human dignity – was and remains of incalculable value in shaping a dimension of democratic citizenship for all young people and in promoting a culture of universal human rights.Compass has become a reference manual for many young people involved in value-based youth work and non-formal education. It is currently available in more than 30 languages, ranging from Arabic and Japanese to Icelandic and Basque. In some countries it has become part of the resources for human rights education in schools and in some others it is not possible to use it in schools. The adventures of Compass across Europe often mirror the contrasted reality of human rights education: promoted here and combated there, praised by some and despised by others.The success of Compass has been followed by its younger sibling, Compasito – a manual for human rights education with children is already available in several languages and on the way to becoming another bestseller for human rights education. More importantly, Compass and its publication in various language versions has been the medium through which human rights education has been brought onto the agenda of youth work and into the programme of many schools. National networks for human rights education have been created in several countries, where they reinforce the work done by human rights organisations and educational professionals in making the right to human rights education a reality to more children and young people across Europe. The forum on human rights education with young people, Living, Learning, Acting for Human Rights, held in Budapest in 2009, stressed the importance of human rights education today. COMPASS: un manuel sur l'éducation aux droits de l'homme avec les jeunes Year of publication: 2012 Author: Patricia Brander Corporate author: Council of Europe Compass a été publiée en 2002 dans le cadre du Programme Jeunesse d'Éducation aux Droits de l'Homme de la Direction de la Jeunesse et du Sport du Conseil de l'Europe. Le programme a été créé parce que l'éducation aux droits de l'homme - à savoir les programmes et les activités qui mettent l'accent sur la promotion de l'égalité dans la dignité humaine éducation - a été et reste d'une valeur inestimable dans l'élaboration d'une dimension de la citoyenneté démocratique pour tous les jeunes et à promouvoir une culture des droits humains universels. Compass est devenu un manuel de référence pour de nombreux jeunes impliqués dans le travail de la jeunesse fondée sur des valeurs et de l'éducation non formelle. Il est actuellement disponible dans plus de 30 langues, allant de l'arabe et le japonais à l'islandais et le basque. Dans certains pays, il est devenu une partie des ressources pour l'éducation aux droits de l'homme dans les écoles et dans certains autres, il est impossible de l'utiliser dans les écoles. Les aventures de Compass en Europe reflètent souvent la réalité contrastée de l'éducation aux droits de l'homme: promotion ici et là combattu, loué par les uns et méprisé par les autres. Le succès de Compass a été suivi par son frère cadet, Compasito - un manuel pour l'éducation aux droits de l'homme avec les enfants est déjà disponible en plusieurs langues et sur la façon de devenir un autre best-seller pour l'éducation aux droits de l'homme. Plus important encore, Compass et sa publication dans différentes versions linguistiques a été le moyen par lequel l'éducation aux droits de l'homme a été mis sur l'ordre du jour du travail de jeunesse et dans le programme de nombreuses écoles. Les réseaux nationaux pour l'éducation aux droits de l'homme ont été créés dans plusieurs pays, où ils renforcent le travail accompli par les organisations des droits humains et professionnels de l'éducation à faire du droit à l'éducation des droits de l'homme une réalité à plus d'enfants et de jeunes à travers l'Europe. Le forum sur l'éducation aux droits de l'homme avec les jeunes, la vie, l'apprentissage, agir pour les droits de l'homme, tenue à Budapest en 2009, a souligné l'importance de l'éducation aux droits de l'homme aujourd'hui. 
Towards Compassionate Global Citizenship: Educating the Heart through Development Education and Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (Vol. 19, Autumn, 2014) Year of publication: 2014 Author: Caroline Murphy | Brendan Ozawa-de Silva | Michael Winskel Corporate author: Centre for Global Education (CGE) The authors present an argument for developing emotional literacy which can be applied to critical development education to bring about active citizens who have capacity to take compassionate action for global justice. It is argued that both emotional skills and critical thinking skills are mutually essential, and in fact it is only by cultivating a symbiosis between these, can pedagogy be developed that presents a true transformational agency to people. The paper attempts to synthesise development education (DE) with Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), and argues that these are potentially compatible to acquire such pedagogy. While DE can provide individuals with the skills to think critically and react to injustice, CBCT can provide the skills and emotional capacity to intervene for change, without giving in to despair, anger, or burnout. In short, it is argued that DE and CBCT can provide the emotional and intellectual skills necessary for productive social activism and change. Throughout this article it is highlighted how the international development organisation, Children in Crossfire (CIC), has been grappling with the above mentioned and related disciplines, and how it has been working, in partnership with researchers from Emory University and Life University’s Center for Compassion and Secular Ethics, to evolve its DE teacher training practice, Teachers in Development and Learning (TIDAL), towards such a transformative pedagogy, entitled ‘Educating the Heart for Compassionate Global Citizenship’.
