EIUC Venice School of Human Rights - Human Rights as our Responsibility

We are happy to announce that the fourth edition of EIUC Venice School of Human Rights will run from 27 June to 6 July 2013 and is now ready to accept applications.

EIUC Venice School of Human Rights was born in 2010 with the goal of studying today’s challenges in the field of human rights. It allows its participants coming from all over the world to list these challenges and examine their reasons and possible solutions they can deploy. The EIUC Venice School combines theory and practice and its faculty involves highly experienced international academics and practitioners.

After a first session common to all participants dedicated to a general introduction on international systems of protection of human rights and related mechanisms, the programme will develop into the following three thematic clusters:

  • Human Rights based approach to development cooperation
  • Lesbians, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual rights
  • Religion and human rights

DEADLINE FOR SENDING APPLICATIONS: 30 April 2013
