Dear friends, human rights educators,

It has been 10 years now since we have launched COMPASITO, the manual on Human Rights Education for Children. To honor its anniversary, the Council of Europe has undertaken to update it and make it fit for the next 10 years!
In order to integrate the experiences of all users of the manual, we have created an online survey where every user can propose what to change or improve in the manual. We kindly ask for your support by contributing to this survey.
The survey itself has been made to help the user feel free to indicate specific or different parts of the manual – you can dedicate 2 minutes or 30 minutes, depending how much you wish to comment on.

The survey will be open until 30 June.

Here’s the direct link survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/62X5SJD

Thank you for your collaboration!

THE LANGUAGE MAGICIAN – coming in 2018!

THE LANGUAGE MAGICIAN Erasmus+ project team is creating an enjoyable short game which engages children through its attractive graphics and storyline and sets them challenges, some of which are in a language they are learning at school. It also gathers data for the teacher on what pupils can do.

There is no cost for use of the game which will be available online in 2018 in versions for children learning English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

You can view an English trailer for THE LANGUAGE MAGICIAN here: https://youtu.be/EpX9B8TLRR8
