Educating in values, educating for human rights: reflection and dialogue as mediating strategies for the prevention and resolution of conflicts

Abstract

This article aims to provide elements of analysis in order to vindicate the need to promote education in values and human rights as a fundamental axis of all educational activities. In this way, it begins by theoretically breaking down the very concept of value and human rights and their socio-political meaning, to move on, from a more methodological perspective, to review the role of reflection and dialogue within values education and as mediating strategies for the prevention and resolution of conflicts, finally providing a series of principles and practical resources to work on these issues in specific educational contexts.
