The Rights of the Child International Training Program: The Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), as part of its Advanced International Training Programmes has announced the availability of grants to support participants from various countries to attend the “The Rights of the Child – A Practical Approach” in Stockholm, Sweden.
The training is suitable for NGO representatives, parliamentarians, politicians, civil servants, policymakers and other professions who are working for the rights of children at a high or strategic level.
“The applicants should have at least five years of professional experience from work with child rights issues or as an alternative, have the formal responsibility for issues regarding children’s rights.”
The programme seeks to provide a broader knowledge on how to work to promote children’s rights and exemplify how different monitoring mechanisms can be implemented.
Particular attention will be paid to the participants’ own ideas and experiences according to their own national contexts. This will require an active commitment.
Special emphasis will be placed on the current debate regarding children’s rights. The participants must also place a strong focus on the development of their own project.
All the participants admitted into the programme receive a grant covering the costs of participation.
The grant covers completely all the expenses related to the programme such as lectures, literature, documentation, study visits and certain social activities, travel to and from Sweden, accommodation in a single room, meals and a daily allowance.
All the participants receive an insurance covering emergency illness.
