Opening of the 34th annual International Human Rights Training Program

Participants at this year’s training, Equitas staff, volunteers and interns and a representative of the IHRTP’s supporter, Aimia gathered in the atrium of John-Abbott College’s new Science and Health Technologies Building. Participants were welcomed into the Equitas family by Ian Hamilton, Executive Director of Equitas, John Bragg, Vice-President Government Relations and Social Purpose at AIMIA and Thérèse Bouchard, member of Equitas’ Board of Directors.

The 35 participants, from over 20 countries, were encouraged to make the most of their next three-week journey, where they have the opportunity to share their experiences with human rights educators from around the world.
