Integrate knowledge in the fields of politics, economics, cultural diversity, gender issues and socio-psychology in the context of human rights.
Strategize training and methodology required for promoting human rights education in various countries across all sectors of the society.
To explore the specificities and points of commonality of the non-formal and the formal education contexts in relation to human rights learning.
To establish a global network of trainers on human rights education.

The program will further equip participants with skills for better understanding of the concepts of human rights learning and leadership development. This course will also provide the participants with a concrete ‘step-by-step’ approach including hints and guidelines for developing and implementing a successful human rights project in their organization and communities.
