The project will address lack of offer of comprehensive human rights education and training for human rights (HR) activism for (young) adults in Slovenia.
The main aim of the project is education for human rights and building competences, skills and experiences through concrete actions for human rights; and by this meaningful contribution to the culture of active citizenship and to the society, where topical HR are recognized and experienced as a common concern and common responsibility and where individuals have knowledge and mechanisms to influence them.
The first target groups are students and pedagogical workers (lecturers); secondary target groups are those that are interested in human rights (high-school students, students from other faculties, members and supporters of AIS), journalists, nongovernmental organisations and officials.
