Human rights education is quality education

Background

SET Europe (formerly SET Padova) is a social promotion association established in September 2020 by a group of 13 second year master’s degree students from the Human Rights and Multilevel Governance (HRG) program at the Università degli Studi di Padova (UniPD).

The group was created to respond to the need for additional student-led support during the Covid 19 pandemic. We acted as an intermediary body relaying information between the student body, the faculty and the administration. We proudly operate in both digital and physical spaces to reduce geographical barriers to accessing human rights education.

Our dedicated volunteers, partners and contributors continue to breathe life into projects that promote human rights education in Europe and around the world.

Our 5-year objective is to propel the EU Youth Strategy for 2019-2027 by developing innovative initiatives. The strategy, based on the Council Resolution 26 November 2018, focuses on three core action areas: Engage, Connect, Empower. 

Mission

To provide opportunities for young people to participate in human rights promotion.

Vision

To build societies in which human rights education is a core component of academic curricula.
