LINKING & LEARNING PROGRAMME ON ESC RIGHTS FOR THE LATIN AMERICA REGION
7 to 15 November 2005 - Colonia, Uruguay
Organisers:
Social Watch and Dignity International
In partnership with: COHRE - Americas Programme and DECA Equipo Pueblo
With the support of: Primate's World Development
And the Auspices of: Ministry of Education and Culture of Uruguay and Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay
For the first
time, Social Watch and Dignity International organise this programme, with the
objective of equipping selected participants with the knowledge and skills
necessary to integrate human rights in their daily work
The programme
is aimed at activists from social and economic justice movements and at those
working directly with persons living in poverty.
The programme
will bring together 'catalysts' from different countries of Latin America. These
persons will be in a position to spread knowledge and skills they have acquired
from the programme and to introduce/implement what they have acquired within
their own organisations or environment.
Summary of the
programme:
This Regional
Linking & Learning Programme is organised with the conviction that a human
rights framework by empowering the poor and their movements will contribute to
establishing the primacy of dignity of individuals over trade and markets and
ensure adoption of effective policies and programmes by governments for
eradication of poverty. The Linking & Learning Programme for the Latin American
region is being organised in response to repeated demands from the region over
the past 3 years. It follows directly from the achievements of the Annual Global
Linking & Learning Programme on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, organised
since 2002, by Dignity International in partnership with Forum-Asia and the
International Human Rights Internship Program, and most recently joined by the
International Network for ESC Rights (ESCR-Net) and which counts on the support
of NOVIB (OXFAM Netherlands) and of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland.
