This manual distils the essence of the project „Maßstab Menschenrechte”. This two-year project, funded by the „Demokratie Leben!” programme, developed, organised and ran workshops on the topics of flight, forced migration, asylum and racism. The aim was to approach these topics on the basis of sound methodology, expert knowledge on the topics, and human rights expertise. To this end, the German Institute for Human Rights worked with education practitioners from organisations run by and for persons with experience of flight, forced migration and racism and with (refugee) activists.
