Feminist Critical Pedagogy Analysis of Language Aspects in Collaborative Writing of Open Source Materials for Children in a Human Rights Education Course

Abstract

This study presents the experience gained in a course titled Human Rights Education Through Open Source Children’s Books that has been taught at the College of Society and the Arts (2013–2018). The course was based on critical feminist methodology and a task-oriented model that aims to address issues regarding education for social justice, in order to integrate them in the curricula of schools and informal education activities. During the course the participants were required to produce a children’s book that tackles various socio-political issues and promotes human rights.
