Network Migration in Europe organizes a multinational Youth Forum “Training
on human rights issues” for students and multipliers who have an active interest in human rights education in the context of migration. The Youth Forum is devoted to the study and betterment of human rights and specifically the relationship between majority and minority populations in past and present. We invite applications from students and multipliers with interest in training, discussion and grass roots project work of human rights. The seminar in particular focusses on (forced) migration issues in Europe before 1989 and the new developments after the breakdown
of the communist regimes during the nineties until now.

During the International Youth Forum Program in Berlin the participants will be offered one week of training and site visits on the topic of how societies deal with their various human rights issues in particular in respect to migration. The training program offers knowledge, methods and project work.

The Youth Forum intends to qualify students and multipliers for human rights education. At the end of the seminar a certificate will be given for successful participation. Participants can use the knowledge and experiences gained during the training seminar in their community work, their further education and their career paths in non-profit sector, in school teaching and youth work, in media and the private sector.

Good active and passive command of English is mandatory, knowledge of German is an advantage. The Youth Forum on Human Rights looks for particpants who are at ease with intense, constant group activities and interaction.

Costs and expenses for accommodation and food are covered. Travel expenses up to 30 € have to be payed by the participants, additional costs are covered by Network Migration.
