The 41st edition of the IHRTP has been postponed to June 2023
The pandemic has inevitably interrupted Equitas’ regular activities and, as a result, the 41st edition of the International Human Rights Training Program (IHRTP), which was scheduled to take place in June 2020, has been postponed to June 2023, if conditions allow it. This training lasts three full weeks and is generally held at John Abbott College in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, near Montreal, Canada.
Equitas considered several scenarios, taking into account the different constraints and realities related not only to the evolution of the pandemic, but also the logistical implications of holding an event such as the IHRTP in this context, to come to this difficult decision.
The next program for which it will be possible to submit an application is June 2023: the call for applications should be launched in the fall of 2022.
We know that this announcement will be disappointing for many individuals who were planning to apply for the IHRTP of 2021 and 2022. If you wish to be added to our mailing list to receive the call for applications for the 2023 IHRTP, please send us an email at pifdh-ihrtp@equitas.org (unless you have already done so).
Human rights education continues!
Although it is not possible to participate in the International Human Rights Training Program this year, please note that Equitas offers a free online course “Put the World to Rights“ which is available to all in English, French, and Arabic.
Equitas also offers the new training program Global Rights Connection, a human rights training program offered entirely online. The second edition will take place from September to November 2022.
Global Rights Connection is a virtual, participatory and transformative training for human rights educators around the world. It aims to build the capacity of participants to carry out human rights education activities using approaches that promote positive social change.
