What does HRE mean in EDUCATIONAL

Human Rights Education (HRE) is an educational program focusing on the principles, values and practices of human rights. It strives to help students acquire a holistic understanding of those principles and to develop awareness, attitudes, and skills necessary for promoting acceptance, respect, and the practice of human rights in their personal lives, communities and countries.

We typically learn these concepts through workshops, classes or lectures that teach us about the various fundamentals of human rights education. We also learn by engaging with our peers in classroom discussions or debates that can further reinforce our understanding.
