The book will be presented by Dr. Sylvia Contreras Salinas, an academic from the University of Santiago de Chile.

The Directorate of Links with the Environment and Extension, together with the Publishing House of the University of La Serena, invite the student and general community to the presentation of the book "Education in Human Rights", by the academic of the state campus, Edgardo Carabantes Olivares . The ceremony will take place on Wednesday, September 12, at 18:00 p.m., at the Irma Salas Silva Central Library of the ULS, located at Anfión Muñoz 875, La Serena.

This book comes from a doctoral thesis of Dr. Carabantes, which rescues the experience of those students of Pedagogy careers at the University of La Serena, who for a semester were trained around Human Rights issues, in a space of conversations and reflection.  

In this regard, Alejandro Abufom, in charge of the Universidad de La Serena Editorial, commented: “there is a methodological issue in Human Rights contained in the book that is very important. This book offers a perspective on how to approach the work of Human Rights with students. It is a very useful and much-needed book.”

Abufom also indicated that “this book shows that it is possible to take the investigative work that is done in academia, combine it with work in the classroom with undergraduate students, and place it at the service of readers. That is to say, that knowledge is not locked up in the university, but rather goes abroad and what better way than a book”.
