The Danish Institute for Human Rights developed this new guide that includes different phases of curriculum development and sample curricula on human rights for four subjects across pre- primary and lower primary, upper primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary level. The hope is to “bring conceptual clarity on human rights education and curriculum development and provide concrete suggestions on how to build human rights curricula fit for 21st century human rights challenges, while contributing to the realisation of the SDG goals and targets set by the international community.”
