Abstract [en]
Highlights:
-Education about, through and for human rights, peace and sustainability in the global north and south is investigated from students’ point of view.
- Knowledge, skills, and attitudes in line with international recommendations are evidentin all national contexts.
- Students may identify violations of human rights and recognise acts of violence but struggle more to identify issues linked to sustainability and strategies to solve conflicts.
- Knowing how to promote human rights, peace, or sustainability is more of a challenge than identifying human rights, peace, or sustainability.
- Impact from teaching is associated with local contexts and a mix of teaching methods,both student centred and teacher directed
