Summary
This paper discusses the theoretical framework, methodology and results of the X Inter-American Report on Human Rights Education (IIHR, 2011). The overall purpose was to provide tools that will help people in the education community become more sensitive to the problem, analyze it objectively, take action to prevent it and, if necessary, face up to it without ever losing their human rights perspective and using HRE as a strategy for intervention This means the theoretical-pedagogical construct needs to be reversed. These policies should target the entire student body and be designed to improve the climate in the schools and facilitate daily coexistence They should be based on human rights values and principles, a culture of peace and democratic citizenship, and rest on the development of self-esteem, communication skills and interpersonal relationships. Domain: Policies on safety and peaceful coexistence in the schools
