Council of Europe
We are pleased that the Five Nations Network has been accepted as a Council of Europe Regional Network. The Council of Europe supports its forty seven member states in the promotion of democracy and human rights in and through education. The legal framework for this work is the Council of Europe Charter on Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights Education, adopted by the member states in 2010. The Five Nations Network contributes to the objectives and principles of this Charter, and is supported by the Council of Europe. |
The Council of Europe was founded by ten countries in 1949 and seeks to develop, throughout Europe, common and democratic principles based on the European Convention on Human Rights and other reference texts on the protection of individuals.
