Equal in Dignity and Rights: Human rights training ready to launch

Interested in learning more about human rights and human dignity? Consider partnering with KAIROS to hold a workshop focusing on the vision behind human rights, how we can protect and further human rights, and how we build partnerships between communities facing human rights violations.

Each community or region will work with KAIROS to identify pressing issues such as migrant justice, the struggle against poverty, Aboriginal rights, and others. We’ll build the workshop together and partner in ongoing advocacy for human rights and responsibilities.This project is open to any community, school, faith group, or community group. Drop us a line!

Our thanks go to Charlottetown, PEI for hosting our first pilot workshop, with particular thanks to co-organiser Mary Boyd and the participants who talked about their struggles with poverty—and how we can make PEI and Canada poverty-free. Thanks also to the hundred people who took the time to respond to our human rights survey.

Workshops will begin in the late fall 2008 and will run for the next two years. To learn more and offer your help or ideas, please contact Julie Graham, Education and Network Coordinator, at jgraham @kairoscanada.org or 1 877 403 8933 x233.
