Hello,

This was sent to me by a past colleague now back in Canada, who asked that I circulate this to people and org’s here in Melanesia that I thought may be interested – so please feel free to circulate to your networks.

Thanks!

Invitation to submit an application for the:

 

36^th International Human Rights Training Program (IHRTP)

Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Québec, Canada, June 7 - June 26, 2015

 

 

Greetings from Equitas!

 

We are delighted to contact you today with details about our next annual International Human Rights Training Program. We are looking forward to another inspiring three-week program and the opportunity to meet around 90 participants from about 50 different countries.

 

We invite your organization to submit an application for this program and/or forward the information to your network of human rights activists. The Application Form, Program information and Memorandum of agreement are attached. You can also find the documents, in English and French on our web site at: www.equitas.org.

 

In identifying who should apply, please bear in mind that the IHRTP is intended for human rights workers and educators. The goal of the IHRTP is to strengthen the capacity of human rights organizations to undertake human rights education 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 Application form provides a detailed description of the Program.

 

We received more than 600 applications for the 2014 IHRTP and it is therefore likely that this year again, we will not have enough spaces for all of the qualified candidates. The selection process and participant profile we are looking for are described in the attached document. The Equitas Selection Committee gives priority to the organizations 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. 

 

Equitas is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established in 1967, as the Canadian Human Rights Foundation, and dedicated to the promotion of human rights through education in Canada and around the world.  Through various programs, with the IHRTP being our core activity, we help organizations build their capacity to engage in human rights education, promotion and democratic development.  For more information about our activities in Canada, as well as all over the world, please visit our website at www.equitas.org.

 

Please note that the deadline for receiving applications to participate in the IHRTP is November 17, 2014 and that only the 2015 Application Forms will be accepted. 

 

Should you have comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the IHRTP team at ihrtp...@equitas.org

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Ian Hamilton

Executive Director
