International Human Rights Training Program
Montreal, Canada
Deadline: 21 November 2008
Website: www.equitas.org
The IHRTP is intended for human rights workers and educators from non-governmental organizations, National Human Rights Institutions, government bodies and educational institutions. The goal of the IHRTP is to strengthen the capacity of human rights organizations to undertake human rights education efforts aimed at building a global culture of human rights. The curriculum is based on principles of adult experiential learning in which participants and facilitators engage in a process of mutual teaching and learning. The Program Information provides a detailed description of the Program.
Equitas received more than 800 applications for the 2008 IHRTP and it is therefore unlikely that there will be enough spaces for all of the qualified candidates. The selection process and participant profile Equitas is looking for are described in the documents below. The Equitas Selection Committee gives priority to the organisations best able to demonstrate their commitment and effectiveness in relation to human rights promotion and education. Consideration is also given to overall gender balance, geographic representation and the availability of bursaries.
The training will be held from June 13 to July 3, 2009 in Montreal, Canada. Find the application materials here.
