DESIGN The international training programme Human Rights for Development (HR4DEV) maps the potential and limits of human rights in development and development cooperation, with a specific focus on children's rights. The course consists of a general part (two weeks on human rights and development), and a thematic part (two weeks on children's rights and globalisation). It targets 'leaders of the future' in practice, policy and academia. What are the potential and limits of human rights for development? What is the added value of children’s rights’ approaches to global problems such as poverty, environmental challenges, armed conflict and migration? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in the course, from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective. Module 1: Human Rights and Development (general) (week 1 and 2)
Module 2: Children's Rights in a Globalised World: Critical Approaches (thematic) (week 3 and 4)
