The book covers the major principles of human rights education i.e. learner centeredness, learner autonomy, reflection and introspection. It is replete with activities that promote collaborative learning exercises and encourages students to contextualize ideas in their respective environments. Each unit has a voices section, which gives information about young peoples critical life experiences and champions how upholding and inculcating knowledge of human rights can serve to highlight their problems. The voices section represents not only the different parts of the world but the different segments of society as well. It creates an awareness of the rights and responsibilities of individuals living in civilized societies and the value of protecting human rights. The authors have aimed at keeping learner motivation high while designing the activities and the focus is on language development through reading, writing, and speaking skills.
