Detailed Information
We will look at definitions of human rights, what do they mean and what are the differences between civil and political rights, economic and social rights and solidarity rights. We will examine a timeline of human rights and how the meaning of rights changed through the centuries. We will use participatory methods and practical exercises to understand the concept of human rights.
