With the United Nation’s support…

• ABDEM is an approach for promoting both education through

human rights as well as human rights in the educational systems of

the Maghreb countries.

• In an approach to human rights, policies, plans and development

processes are based on a system of rights and duties established by

international law.

• ABDEM’s main objective is the fullfilement of human rights.

• HRBA identifies the holders of rights as well as their duties.

Thus, it is a tool specifically practical and necessary for achieving

the objectives of the World programme of the United Nations on

Human Rights. The purpose of the latter is to promote both

education through human rights and guarantee human rights in the

educational systems.

• Focus group sessions have been organised within the ABDEM project

• This has enabled:

• Dessimination of knowledge * Civil society,

* NGOs

• Development of materials as part of * Journalist

• in-service training activities * Gouvernmental bodies

• * Student organisations…

• Networking and cooperation

with

• Developent of online materials through

• www.abdemeducation.eu and www.abdemeducation.eu/presdevous

Building on the national reports of the

government of each partner country, and the

language that is deployed is a good starting

point to implement HRBA
