HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION AND LEGAL GUIDING MARKS

Abstract

We propose in this text to recover the meaning and the historicity of human rights education in Brazil. For this purpose, we started by the main current legal guiding marks about education rights and HRE, in international and national codes. This movement allowed us to comprehend that, in normative area, education and the setting up of human rights and the guarantee of human dignity to everyone are seen as effective tools. In this regard, Brazilian State assumed, from 1990 to 2000, this basis in the elaboration of HRE plans, in order to build a formative culture in human rights. The bibliographic research, documental and qualitative, supported by BONAVIDES (1998), CANDAU (2007), ZENAIDE (2007), among others, concluded that, in spite of several action programs, plans and the vast amount of laws regarding education as a human right, the debate is far beyond ruling area. The HRE realization depends on public politics capable of creating social activities which reflect on the way people think, feel and act.
