Founded in 2006, the Center for Human Rights and Conflict ResolutionCHRCR works to promote human rights and resolve conflicts arising from ethnic and other societal differences. Through education and advocacy, the organisation seeks to build a more inclusive and understanding society where diversity is embraced rather than divided.
CHRCR is deeply invested in improving human rights, conflict resolution, and inter-ethnic relations. The organisation believes that education is a powerful tool in fostering respect and understanding among diverse communities. By equipping young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate social and financial challenges, CHRCR helps shape responsible and engaged citizens.
Our Partnership
Since 2008, CHRCR has partnered with Aflatoun to bring high-quality Social and Financial Education to children and youth in North Macedonia. Aflatoun’s global expertise in empowering young people through financial literacy and social responsibility perfectly aligns with CHRCR’s mission to create positive social change through education.
In a country facing economic challenges and social shifts, financial literacy is crucial for individual and community well-being. Additionally, social education plays a key role in fostering empathy, cooperation, and civic responsibility. By integrating SFE into the educational system, CHRCR empowers young people to build stronger, more resilient communities and contribute to a more prosperous future for North Macedonia.
One of CHRCR’s major achievements is leading the development of a Life Skills curriculum for schools in North Macedonia. This initiative equips students with essential skills in financial management, social responsibility, and conflict resolution, ensuring they are better prepared for the challenges of adulthood.
Transforming Education with Aflatoun at the National Level
In 2009, CHRCR partnered with Aflatoun, the Macedonian Ministry of Education, and UNICEF to develop a new Life Skills curriculum for both primary and secondary schools. Inspired by Aflatoun’s Social and Financial Education framework, this curriculum has helped thousands of students gain vital knowledge on financial literacy and social responsibility, making a lasting impact on education in the country.
Through its collaboration with Aflatoun, CHRCR continues to shape a future where education is a driving force for peace, inclusion, and financial empowerment. By equipping young minds with essential life skills, CHRCR is playing a vital role in transforming North Macedonia’s educational landscape for generations to come.
