We are delighted to announce that the application period for the 34th
annual International Human Rights Training Program (IHRTP) is now open
and we will be accepting applications until November 21, 2012. We look
forward to another inspiring three-week program and the opportunity to
meet about 90 participants from around the world.
Equitas offers annually this one of a kind training program in
Montreal, Canada, that builds human rights knowledge and skills,
attitudes and behaviors. Participants from about 50 countries are
equipped with innovative tools that enable them to enhance their action
to defend and promote human rights and democratic values in their home
contexts. The training takes place in a safe Canadian environment
ensuring participants can openly express themselves in a non-threatening
environment.
“This training program is an important Canadian contribution to the spread of human rights and democratic principles around the world,” says Ian Hamilton, Executive Director of Equitas. “Through the IHRTP, participants gain greater confidence in their abilities as well as the skills and motivation to become effective human rights champions upon their return home”.
If you wish to attend the 2013 IHRTP, find below information about
the application process, the application form and the memorandum of
agreement. Please note that the application form, the memorandum of
agreement and the other supporting documents must be received BEFORE November 21, 2012.
