Dr. Angela Melchiorre renews collaboration with HREA for e-learning course on the Right to Education

In February and March 2012 Dr. Angela Melchiorre , E.MA Programme Director, will once again teach the e-learning course on the Right to Education offered by Human Rights Education Associates (HREA ) in collaboration with The Right to Education Project.

The purpose of this course - says Dr. Melchiorre - is to introduce staff of development agencies, representatives of inter-governmental and non-governmental organisations, activists and educationalists to critical concepts and issues necessary to develop more articulated and effective strategies and policies in the field of education as a human right.
The course applies a human rights advocacy methodology whereby participants learn to work at the level of: substance (being aware of the content and meaning of the right to education in order to identify violations); structure (identifying duty-bearers and using legal instruments to encourage accountability); society (identifying actions and behavioural/value changes in order to enhance participation of rights-holders).

Prof. Fabrizio Marrella, Dean of the Human Rights Village (HRV)

Following up the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Venice and the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC) signed on 15 July 2011, Prof. Fabrizio Marrella has been appointed Dean of the Human Rights Village (HRV).

With this ongoing project, EIUC aims at becoming the Centre of Excellence in the world for an holistic model of teaching, training, research, advocacy, counselling, advice in human rights, democratisation, peace, justice, democracy, sustainable development as well as other interrelated issues.

A member of the EIUC Board since the EIUC foundation in 2002 (until 2008), prof. Marrella has lectured for ten years in the E.MA Programme in the section "Economic globalisation and human rights" developing the section on Business and Human Rights. Then, from 2008 until July 2011, he has served as E.MA Programme Director being also the cluster responsible of the section Business and Human rights of the EIUC Venice School on Human Rights.

19 - 21 October 2011: E.MA/EIUC at Biennale Sessions

For the first time in its long history, the European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation (E.MA) managed by EIUC included a study visit to the Venice Biennale as part of the teaching programme 2011/2012. The initiative was part of the Biennale Sessions, a project designed specifically for universities and academic institutions.

Taking inspiration from the title and main themes of the 54th International Art Exhibition, E.MA students were encouraged to look at the works in display through the lens of human rights and concepts of nation, identity and community. In the final workshop they discussed their impressions, attempted to identify a red thread linking these human rights concepts to some selected works of art, and drew conclusions on the application of human rights in art and vice-versa.
