International Working Group on Human Rights Education

Founded in 2023 to promote institutional collaboration and learning, the International Working Group on Human Rights Education brings together Catholic universities across the globe who share a commitment to human rights education at all levels.
Embedded in our work on the Vatican’s Global Compact on Education, this Klau Institute initiative encourages dialogue around pedagogical approaches to human rights education. In addition, the working group provides a platform to develop opportunities for international learning experiences for students.
Our vision is to strengthen human rights education globally by sharing best practices while also widening our perspectives on human dignity in all contexts.
