an article by UNESCO Chair in Human Rights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the past 10 years, the UNESCO Chair & Institute of Comparative Human Rights has held summer leadership training fora for young leaders from all regions of the world. In conjunction with its annual fora at the University of Connecticut, it has conducted three regional leadership training programs in Rwanda, Italy, and Thailand. In partnership with the African Studies Centre at the University of Cape Town, the main goals of the upcoming Forum are to bring both outstanding participants from past Leadership Training Programmes and new leaders to launch a global intergenerational leadership organization, if not movement. Young leaders with demonstrated commitment to human rights are strongly urged to attend.<\/b><\/p>\n

The International Leadership Training Programme: A Global Intergenerational Forum, originally organized as an Intergenerational Global Forum seeks to empower young leaders by involving them in finding solutions to emerging human rights problems, and by nurturing individuals to be effective leaders in the field of human rights. To this end, the Forum has sought to introduce participants to the United Nations Development Agenda and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, build a network of solidarity among human rights leaders, expand knowledge relevant to human rights practice, provide tools and a platform for open debate, develop human rights leadership, and promote sharing of experiences and understanding. The Forum has showcased speakers on such topics as: health, education, the environment, the plight of child soldiers, the use of media, fundraising, conflict resolution and transformation, litigation, advocacy, and other emerging human rights issues to name a few.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
