More than 25 youth workers, youth leaders, human rights activists, teachers, and other practitioners in the fields of youth and non-formal education are taking part in the Compass national training course Empowering young leaders for more sustainable and inclusive communities in Italy.

 The training course is organised by ALDA – European Association for Local Democracy, in cooperation with the Council of Europe Youth Department from 10 to 13 October 2023 at the Centro Civico Lagorà in Vicenza.

This activity will enhance the competences of multipliers for human rights education and promote the role of human rights educators and practitioners in implementing the Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education in their respective contexts.

 The primary focus will be on supporting young people's access to their rights, with specific attention to human rights themes such as democratic citizenship, gender equality, diversity, and inclusion. Participants will be able to apply into practice the Compass manual and other educational resources of the Council of Europe, adapting them to the context.
