OSCE Office in Tajikistan holds training course on human rights education

A five-day training course on human rights education concluded on 6 May 2017 at the OSCE Office in Tajikistan.

The course brought together some 19 young civil society activists from all over Tajikistan and focused on enabling the participants to develop their own training programmes.  

It was delivered by experienced human rights trainers from Belarus. They provided an intensive programme on how to prepare a full-day training course on human rights.

“Not all participants will become trainers themselves but the skills and understanding they receive here will help them when arguing for human rights or delivering a talk or lecture on human rights issues,” said OSCE Office in Tajikistan's Human Rights Officer Friederike Behr.

Suhrob Sobirov, a participant from the Office for Civil Freedoms in Khujand city, said: “I am already using the skills and methods I learned here in my own teaching on law and human rights for school kids. I can see how my own teaching benefits from the course and from the support I got from the trainers.” 

This is the second training course for the group. The first one took place in December 2016.
