A Heritage, Multiculturalism and Citizenship Education framework Papers and Proceedings of a seminar for Southern African countries held in Johannesburg in April 2002. In 2002, the Commonwealth Secretariat launched an initiative on citizenship education following on from provisions adopted at the 2000 Conference of Commonwealth Education Ministers held in Halifax, Canada. This book is a result of collaborative work undertaken by educationalists, curriculum developers and leading experts to develop a framework for an innovative approach to citizenship education, to strengthen a culture of fairness, equity tolerance and respect. This ground-breaking approach involves the key elements of heritage, multiculturalism and citizenship (HMC). South Africa, as the rainbow nation', vividly illustrates the depth and complexity of the challenges ahead. The framework, easily adapted to individual countries, serves as a basis for organising curriculum and for teaching and learning resources.
