31st International Human Rights Training Program (IHRTP)

Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Québec, Canada, June 6 – June 25, 2010



We are delighted to contact you today with details about our next
annual International Human Rights Training Program. We are looking
forward to another inspiring three-week program and the opportunity to
meet more than 120 participants from around 60 different countries.



We are inviting you to forward the enclosed Application Form, Program
Information and Memorandum of Agreement to your network of human
rights activists and encourage organizations who you think could
benefit from the program to apply.  It is also a good opportunity to
share with your network your personal experience at the IHRTP.  We
always appreciate recommendations from IHRTP Alumni.



In circulating the information please bear in mind that the IHRTP is
intended for human rights workers and educators from non-governmental
organizations, National Human Rights Institutions, government bodies
and educational institutions. The goal of the IHRTP is to strengthen
the capacity of human rights organizations to undertake human rights
education efforts 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 Program Information provides a detailed
description of the Program.



We received more than 900 applications for the 2009 IHRTP and it is
therefore unlikely that we will 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 organisations 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.



Please note that the deadline for receiving applications is November
21st, 2009 and that only the 2010 Application Forms will be accepted.
You can also find the documents, in English and French, on our web
site at: www.equitas.org.



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