The goal of the Venice School is to allow its participants to be updated on the state-of the art debate on human rights issues and to stimulate a reflexion on the actual challenges faced by human rights actors worldwide. It will also facilitate the exchange of experiences while enhancing an intercultural dialogue amongst its international participants.

Courses are scheduled to take place in Venice at the premises of the European Inter-University Centre in Human Rights and Democratisation for a period of 10 days. The courses will be taught in English by internationally recognised experts in the fields of human rights belonging to EIUC’s partner universities and other organisations that support EIUC projects and endeavors.

These courses are addressed to postgraduate students from all academic backgrounds, students from the different regional masters in human rights and democratisation, to E.MA alumni as well as to human rights practitioners willing to deepen and improve their knowledge in human rights issues.

Attendance is compulsory. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the school providing that they attend at least 90% of the classes.

Participants will benefit from an extremely rich cultural environment including visits to museums, galleries, churches and the Venice Biennale. Finally, they will be able to relax and enjoy walking along the Lido beaches or cycling around the island once the courses finish in the afternoon.
