Best practice guide for youth workers "At the Intersection between Science and Human Rights"

Aims of the tool

The guide aims to equip youth workers with skills and practical tools on how to approach science and human rights education in an integrated manner.
It aims to inspire young people to analyse the world's complex problems through the lens of science and human rights, helping them to become active and responsible citizens. Our approach is rooted in our tenet that it's essential that young people have a rationality based on sound judgment and promote a fairer and more inclusive society.

The ultimate purpose is to increase youth's civic engagement and enable them to contribute to solving social problems through local civic actions by using science and human rights knowledge as tools.

Description of the tool

The guide explains how to use non-formal methods in order to approach the interconnection between science and human rights in an integrated manner.
It presents a series of case studies and inspirational narratives, intended to encourage and equip youth workers with concrete methods and examples to engage young people in critical discussions and educational activities.

The guide is not only a document to read; it is a working tool. Each chapter is designed not only to inform, but to provoke, question and encourage dialogue. It's a resource aimed at equipping youth workers with the skills and knowledge to guide and navigate the ethical and scientific complexities of the modern world.
In times when misinformation is ubiquitous and pseudoscience is gaining ground, the need for such an initiative becomes obvious. The guide not only answers this call, but does so in a clear manner, leading the readers to a renewed understanding of their role in society.
