Respect for human rights is a universal value and principle important for all communities throughout the OSCE. Educators, whether in schools or in particular professions, play a central role in shaping the behaviour and attitudes of the people with whom they work in society. ODIHR has developed a number of resources to promote respect for diversity and mutual understanding in schools, and to assist educators working in a range of professions in training their colleagues to understand and defend human rights and to encourage societies based on the respect for human rights.
