Summary/Abstract: Education is one of the main ways we can truly change the world for the better. To this end, we must build around the idea of value, to learn what respect, goodwill, responsibility and morality mean in the first years of our lives, to live and evolve in a democratic society without prejudices. The moral and civic dimensions of education are essential components of both the teaching process and the actions of the family, social environment, collective, in order to form awareness and conduct in accordance with the rules governing the functioning of society. The Romanian Institute for Human Rights, as national institution with attributes in the field of research, training, information and documentation for human rights, has carried out since its establishment in 1991 a wide variety of activities and programmes to promote human rights education, requiring the consideration of human rights education as a national, regional and international priority. Through its training and education programmes, the Institute highlights successful examples and good practices and stimulates measures to continuously improve and develop existing training programmes while promoting new ones.
