Global Campus of Human Rights. Annual Report 2021
Abstract
The Global Campus of Human Rights presents
its 2021 Annual Report recording the main
outcomes of 12 months of active collaboration
in capacity building and promotion of human
rights and democracy. During this challenging
period, our regional hubs in Venice, Sarajevo,
Pretoria, Bangkok, Yerevan, Buenos Aires and
Beirut; our special project in East Timor; and
our partner universities and stakeholders all
over the world continued to deliver education
with regional and interdisciplinary approaches,
experiential learning, cross-cultural exchanges
and networking opportunities. The Report
provides insights on the achievements of
the Global Campus’ hallmark seven regional
Master’s programmes, their common activities
and research outlets, and the continuation
of their efforts to build capacity and raise
awareness on human rights and democracy
around the world. The Report also highlights
the three innovative and very successful open access MOOCs offered during 2021;
the specialised training courses with a focus
on human rights defenders; the unique
endeavours to foster the relationship between
human rights and the arts; and the various
activities devoted to the promotion children’s
rights through education and research,
including child-led activities in several regions
of the world.
These outcomes were possible thanks to the
financial support of the European Union, Right
Livelihood, and other donors, as well as the
co-funding and unwavering commitment of
our partner universities and the dedication
shown by our staff at headquarters in Venice
and at our regional hubs.
