Invitation to submit an application for the:

33rd International Human Rights Training Program (IHRTP)

Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Québec, Canada, June 3- June 22, 2012

Greetings from Equitas! 

We are delighted to contact you today with details about the next annual International Human Rights Training Program. We look forward to another inspiring three-week program and the opportunity to meet more than 120 human rights activists from around 60 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 800 applications for the 2011 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 21st, 2011 and that only the 2012 Application Forms will be accepted. 

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