CNDH’s National Human Rights Training Institute- Driss Benzekri launches a training sessions on citizenship and human rights for young people
The staff of the Regional Human Rights Commissions (CRDHs) (local branches of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH)), will conduct training sessions on issues related to citizenship and human rights for young people. These sessions will take place throughout the month of April 2018.
Organized by the CNDH’s National Human Rights Training Institute- Driss Benzekri (INFDH-DB), these training sessions culminate a process of training trainers that benefited the staff of the CNDH, Ministry of Youth and Sport and leaders of youth NGOs. This process was launched following the publication of the Handbook for Education and Training on Citizenship and Human Rights by the UNESCO and the CNDH with the support of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) in 2015.
These training sessions are part of the CNDH and CRDHs efforts to promote the culture of human rights. These events will take place in five Moroccan cities and will focus on the following themes: “Human Rights: Universality, Indivisibility and Interdependence” (14 April 2018, Guelmim), “Constitution and Religion” (18 April, Tangier), “Linguistic and Cultural Diversity” (20-21 April, Casablanca), “Human Development, Social Justice and Economy” (21- 22 Beni Mellal), “Media in Public Spaces” (23 April, Agadir) and “Citizenship: Representation and Participation” (27 April in Al Houssima).
The purpose of this Handbook is to provide a new educational resource for educators and trainers to enhance the appropriation of human rights culture, particularly among young people. This Handbook is a pedagogical tool based on an educational approach that combines two dimensions: citizenship and human rights.
