Abstract

When approaching the teaching of Human Rights in the context of Latin America, it is necessary to situate Professor Abraham Magendzo as a relevant figure. During this conversation characterized by the analysis of the present, but also by the memory and the historical journey of Human Rights education, especially in Chile, the difficulty in developing educational projects in which the entire educational community becomes aware of the importance of the subject in Human Rights is highlighted. The interdisciplinary and transversal element must be the motor that channels these proposals from and for democracy and inclusion. The interviewer mainly questions how it has been assumed that education in human rights should be limited to the suffering or oppressed, when it should be a process that reaches all citizens. Likewise, teaching and learning in Human Rights according to Magendzo, should start from very early ages in students, since these are associated with behaviors that will be reflected in the classrooms. Finally, the challenges proposed by the interviewee include teacher training, commitment and the constant search for rigor in the matter.
