Democracy and Human Rights Education in Europe
A discussion with Georg Pirker, President of Democracy and Human Rights Education in Europe (DARE), Giulia Meschino, Director of the European Vocational Training Association (EVTA), and Elisa Gambardella, Vice President of the Lifelong Learning Platform (LLLP).
