Forum sur l’éducation aux droits de l’homme à Strasbourg
Dans le cadre de son 60e anniversaire, la Direction de la jeunesse et du sport du Conseil de l’Europe organisera un Forum sur l’éducation aux droits de l’homme avec les jeunes, qui se tiendra au Centre européen de la jeunesse de Budapest du 14 au 18 octobre 2009. Dans ce même contexte, nous souhaitons organiser une activité parallèle, directement liée, au Centre Européen de la Jeunesse de Strasbourg les 16 et 17 octobre 2009. Celle-ci s’adressera aux structures associatives locales et aux acteurs locaux impliqués dans le travail de la jeunesse et l’éducation aux droits de l’Homme pour les jeunes.
Not only in Budapest, also in Strasbourg...
In the framework of the Forum on HRE which will take place in Budapest, we are organising a parallel event in the European Youth Centre Strasbourg on 16 and 17 October for local assocations and local actors involved in Human Rights and youth work.
The local Forum will aim at looking at the situation of human rights at local level and developping concrete recommendations on how to promote human rights education with, for and by young people. The activity will bring together 30 participants representing local associations. Their common message and recommendations will be linked to the Budapest event through a direct video conference at various moments of the programme.
