Part III Human rights education in practice When developing indicators, the following three check points may be useful. QUESTION 1: Can the evidence collected be attributed to the education programme or activity? Be careful that you are measuring only those things that are in the activity or programme. QUESTION 2: Is reliable information available or able to be collected? Ensure that you can source information that will accurately indicate whether the outcome has been reached. QUESTION 3: If measuring change, does baseline data exist? It is not possible to measure a change in any situation if you don’t know how it was before the education activity or programme. The situation analysis if carried out effectively will give you this data. Once the outcomes and indicators are developed in this planning stage, they will be used for monitoring progress during implementation and evaluating what has been achieved at the end of the programme activity. Chapters 7 and 8 discuss this further. Milestones Human rights education activity that is implemented over an extended period of time may also include “milestones”. Milestones are markers in time. They say what will be achieved by the activity, by a certain time. An example of how to use milestones is included in the case study below.111 Here the National Human Rights Commission of Korea held an outreach tour for migrant workers at the Ansan Foreign Residents Center. In this example, the milestones relate to the outcomes that were established during the planning stage of the project. NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION OF KOREA: OUTREACH TOUR FOR MIGRANT WORKERS AT THE ANSAN FOREIGN RESIDENTS CENTER Outcome sought: • To provide advice on human rights and labour laws and regulations relating to migrant workers and members of their families. • To collect information collected during the tour to be used for policy review and research in order to understand and improve the human rights situation of migrant workers in the country. Milestone indicators: • By [short-term date]: [Number] public meetings held involving lawyers, labour attorneys and public servants from the Immigration Office and the Ministry of Employment and Labour; [number] of people attended the meetings. • By [medium-term date]: Information collected from the tour presented in a report to the Immigration Office and the Ministry of Employment and Labour. • By [long-term date]: Information from the review incorporated into government policy.

Note that the milestones were not provided by the Commission but have been developed to illustrate this point in the Manual. Chapter 6: Planning and designing human rights education | 59
