Good practices in the protection of human rights defenders 2016, para. 83
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In all educational sectors, successful human rights education bridges the gap between the knowing and the doing. Innovative pedagogies, such as role-based simulations, mock report writing and field placements, help to fill this gap and to equip future defenders with the knowledge and skills that their future practice will require. Successful education and training are often rooted in cooperation between educational institutions on the one hand and defenders on the other. Bringing defenders "into the classroom" can be a rewarding experience for both.
