13. Recommendations for the Humanistic and International Dimension of Education

Schools should support the development of the humanistic and international dimension of education by promoting in all pupils:

· independence of mind
· consideration for others
· a sense of fairness, together with a respect for justice and the rights of others
· respect for ways of life, opinions and ideas different from one’s own, provided they are based on consideration for others
· a sense of decency
· a commitment to the promotion of democratic processes
· a concern for the well being of themselves, other individuals, and society

These objectives present challenges and opportunities for schools in a number of ways; at the level of school policies, classroom climate, in the learning and teaching process, in the pastoral care system, in the physical environment of the school, in the planned curriculum. The guidelines provide a series of ways in which each of these aspects might be considered.
