Booklet: Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Booklet: Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a landmark document adopted by the United Nations in 1948. It sets out, for the first time, the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person, everywhere.  Described in the booklet’s introduction as a “powerful tool” that affirms the equal dignity of all people (pp. iii–vii), the UDHR has become the most translated document in the world and a global reference point for justice, freedom, and equality.
 
Its 30 articles outline essential rights, from freedom of expression and equality before the law to education, participation, and cultural life, forming the foundation for peaceful, democratic societies. This illustrated edition brings these principles to life in an accessible way, inviting people of all ages to learn, reflect, and take action to protect human rights for all.

HANDBOOK: Media Literacy in light of Political Participation and engagement in Democratic processes

HANDBOOK: Media Literacy in light of Political Participation and engagement in Democratic processes

This handbook builds on a training course held from 1–11 August 2022 in Split, Croatia, focusing on media literacy in relation to political participation and democratic engagement. Using non-formal education and learning-by-doing methods, the training strengthened the competences of youth workers, teachers, and educators in understanding media literacy, fostering critical thinking, and applying practical approaches with young people.

 

Participants explored good practices and contributed recommendations for developing ten concrete workshops that can be implemented in local communities, particularly with NEET youth and young people with fewer opportunities.

 

This manual was also used in the Training of Trainers (ToT) as a key resource material, supporting participants in understanding and applying the principles of high-quality educational design within the context of youth work.

HANDBOOK: Active political participation, engagement in democratic processes

This handbook was developed to strengthen the competences of youth workers, teachers, and educators in the fields of active political participation and engagement in democratic processes. 

 

The handbook is structured around ten educational workshops that were implemented during the training and later refined based on feedback from participating youth workers. Additional sessions covering introduction activities, team-building, and the evaluation of international educational programmes have also been included to support trainers working in diverse educational environments.

Manual: How to design a learning experience

Manual: How to design a learning experience

The manual’s innovative approach lies in its comprehensive coverage of designing and developing learning experiences for various target groups across different settings (face-to-face, online, or blended formats). This fills an important gap in existing materials, as research conducted on the Erasmus+ Results Platform revealed no comparable resources addressing this topic in such an integrated and practical manner.

 

The manual offers clear, step-by-step guidance for creating effective educational activities, complemented by practical examples drawn from youth work practice. Although primarily designed for youth workers involved in developing and implementing learning and educational activities for young people, it is equally valuable for project developers and writers, project managers, and others interested in youth education. It functions both as a tool for planning learning activities and as a resource for training youth workers on relevant themes.
