The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.

If we try to discover the educational power of Human Rights, attention
should be paid to the value and meaning of Human Rights, to the reasons
for and against them, to the possibility of their being enacted, and to
their foundations. This discussion is the best way to build a plural
civic education, viewed as moral education. This latter must
necessarily be carried out relaying on social action in addition to
school education. It is not the case of merely introducing some new specifics themes of the education for citizenship; it implies a new way of educating. Francisco Altarejos y Concepción Naval Durán Key words: Human Rights, Moral Education, Education for Citizenship, Civic Education |
