HUMAN RIGHTS AND EDUCATION IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: The foundations of a democratic society rest on the rule of human rights with the aim of promoting and protecting both individual and collective human rights. They are based on values that ensure equality and dignity and belong to us by birth. The aim of this work was to point out the importance of promoting fundamental human rights with an emphasis on human rights to education. They are a prerequisite for realizing all other human rights and an important factor in reducing poverty and social differences in society. This paper starts from the historical changes responsible for the idea of human rights up to the European system of human rights and rights in education. The European initiative for Bosnia and Herzegovina is also mentioned, which refers to the Safety Code in schools through the promotion of the right to education and instructions on how to recognize them. Alife long approach to human rights education is key, but also the representation of these topics at all educational levels, including preschool institutions. The promotion and protection of human rights would reduce prejudices against individuals and groups based on age, gender, religion, skin color, sexual orientation, gender identification, etc., which very often lead to ethnocentrism and discrimination in modern society.
