Human Rights for development is pleased to announce their first edition of the international
training programme “Human Rights for Development” (HR4DEV), which
takes place from 30 July to 24 August 2012 in Antwerp, Belgium.
What are the potential and limits of human rights for development?
What is the added value of children’s rights’ approaches to global
problems such as poverty, environmental challenges, armed conflict and
migration? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in
the course, from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective.
The training programme consists of a general part (two weeks on human
rights and development), and a thematic part (two weeks on children’s
rights and globalization). It targets ‘leaders of the future’ in
practice, policy and academia, from South and North.
HR4DEV is a joint initiative of two Flemish inter university
partnerships: the Flemish Interuniversity Research Network on Law and
Development(LAW&DEV) and the Children’s Rights Knowledge Centre
(KeKi), in cooperation with the Institute of Development Policy and
Management (University of Antwerp).
The deadlines for application are 1 February 2012 (when applying for a
scholarship) and 1 April 2012 (when not applying for a scholarship).
