<br>31st International Human Rights Training Program (IHRTP)<br><br>Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Québec, Canada, June 6 – June 25, 2010<br><br><br><br>We are delighted to contact you today with details about our next<br>annual International Human Rights Training Program. We are looking<br>
forward to another inspiring three-week program and the opportunity to<br>meet more than 120 participants from around 60 different countries.<br><br><br><br>We are inviting you to forward the enclosed Application Form, Program<br>
Information and Memorandum of Agreement to your network of human<br>rights activists and encourage organizations who you think could<br>benefit from the program to apply. It is also a good opportunity to<br>share with your network your personal experience at the IHRTP. We<br>
always appreciate recommendations from IHRTP Alumni.<br><br><br><br>In circulating the information please bear in mind that the IHRTP is<br>intended for human rights workers and educators from non-governmental<br>organizations, National Human Rights Institutions, government bodies<br>
and educational institutions. The goal of the IHRTP is to strengthen<br>the capacity of human rights organizations to undertake human rights<br>education efforts aimed at building a global culture of human rights.<br>The curriculum is based on principles of adult experiential learning<br>
in which participants and facilitators engage in a process of mutual<br>teaching and learning. The Program Information provides a detailed<br>description of the Program.<br><br><br><br>We received more than 900 applications for the 2009 IHRTP and it is<br>
therefore unlikely that we will have enough spaces for all of the<br>qualified candidates. The selection process and participant profile we<br>are looking for are described in the attached document. The Equitas<br>Selection Committee gives priority to the organisations best able to<br>
demonstrate their commitment and effectiveness in relation to human<br>rights promotion and education. Consideration is also given to overall<br>gender balance, geographic representation and the availability of<br>bursaries.<br>
<br><br><br>Please note that the deadline for receiving applications is November<br>21st, 2009 and that only the 2010 Application Forms will be accepted.<br>You can also find the documents, in English and French, on our web<br>
site at: <a href="http://www.equitas.org/" target="_blank">www.equitas.org</a>.<br><br><br><br>Should you have comments or questions, please do not hesitate to<br>contact the IHRTP Team at <a href="mailto:ihrtp-pifdh@equitas.org">ihrtp-pifdh@equitas.org</a><br>
