2. DIGNITY INTERNATIONAL 8TH ANNUAL GLOBAL LINKING & LEARNING PROGRAMME - HUMAN RIGHTS BASED DEVELOPMENT
Deadline: Monday 31 August 2009
Dates: From 1-10 December 2009
Organised by: Dignity International in collaboration with European Anti Poverty Network
Application Deadline: Monday 31 August 2009
WHAT? 8th Annual Global Linking & Learning Programme on Human Rights Based Development
WHEN? 1-10 December 2009
WHERE? Netherlands
WHO? - Organisers: Dignity International (http://www.
WHY? Human Rights Based Development - Human rights provide a moral, authoritative and a legal framework to tackle root causes of poverty – the deep rooted structures of discrimination – the global processes of impoverishment. A human rights framework has the ‘potential´ to deal with not only legal justice, the primary preoccupation of traditional human rights organisations, but also economic and social justice which is central to development work.
Realising this potential, many development actors – development organisations, donors and governments are now actively integrating human rights into development planning. National governments are seeking to integrate human rights in poverty reduction strategies and increasing numbers of community based organisations are advocating for their basic human rights.
A human rights framework offers distinctive strengths and specific tools for development work. A human rights framework makes the human individual the owner of human rights and puts the human person at the centre of the development process. People are not viewed as passive subjects, but able to participate in, actively contribute to and enjoy development. Basic human needs to live life in dignity (adequate housing, adequate levels of nutrition, access to education, access to healthcare, to livelihoods and employment opportunities) are no longer seen as demands for charity but as basic human rights to which everyone is entitled. This fundamental shift from charity/service delivery to human rights moves the poorest in our societies from a position of vulnerability to a position of strength, and therefore from a position of powerlessness to a position where they are empowered.
ANNUAL GLOBAL LINKING & LEARNING PROGRAMME
For the eigth consecutive year, Dignity is proud to invite applications to the Annual Global Linking and Learning Programme. This programme will build on the successes of the previous learning programmes on “Human Rights Based Development”, and on “Economic Social and Cultural Rights” organised by Dignity International with a range of national, regional and international partners. One key feature of the programme will be a field visit to expose participants to see, hear, smell, taste, touch and feel for themselves the struggles of rural and urban communities. Human rights struggles are not theoretical or paper struggles but real struggles of real people affecting real lives.
PROGRAMME CONTENTS
The Programme will take participants on a ten day intensive – enjoyable - learning journey that will equip the participants with knowledge of the key elements of human rights based development, and enhance skills for its practical application. Participants will see the unity between human rights and development and become more committed to the work ahead to achieve the unified human rights and development vision of human dignity for all.
After the programme, participants will:
1. Understand and apply the key elements of human rights based development. More specifically participants will be able to:
2. Understand and critically reflect on the deeply entrenched global processes of impoverishment as well as reflect and challenge present modes of campaigning.
- link specific development issues to international human rights;
- understand the nature of human rights obligations of state and non state actors and be able to apply the knowledge gained to enhance human rights advocacy;
- understand the importance of “accountability”, transparency and the right to information in human rights and be able to use accountability and redress mechanisms at different levels;
- understand the fundamental principle of “non-discrimination” and how human rights can help tackle deep rooted structures of discrimination that perpetuate humiliation and poverty;
- understand and appreciate “participation” as a human right and that realisation of human rights requires participation
- additionally, participants will be able to develop new ideas and skills to encourage meaningful participation of struggling communities in development work;
- understand how human rights empower – steps that can be taken to encourage grassroots “empowerment”.
3. Understand the difference between human rights and non human rights strategies and improve on/transform existing development strategies into human rights strategies.
4. Understand and apply human rights based development into the different stages of the programming cycle.
5. Put all the learning into practice through intensive group work on a real case study.
6. Develop strong solidarity with the communities visited as well as solidarity and friendship at a global level with other participants of the programme.
7. Increase commitment to human rights in professional work and in personal lives.

Dignity International
Dignity International (http://www.
In its work Dignity International:
- Supports human rights advocacy work of the communities in the frontline of the struggle for survival – people whose basic human rights are denied;
- Connects the different struggling communities across national borders;
- Builds a global family for lasting social change.
Dignity has a track record of offering quality and pioneering learning programmes in the past six years. In the early 2001 realizing the hunger for knowledge of human rights and how human rights (in particular economic, social and cultural rights) relate to poverty eradication, Dignity was the first organisation to partner with quality and experienced institutions to organise a learning programme at a global level on economic, social and cultural rights. The programme met with huge demand from all over the world and with huge success in terms of content, methodology and application. Encouraged by this success Dignity continued in its efforts to organise this on an annual basis as well as organising other pioneering thematic learning programmes like “Budget Analysis and ESC Rights”. In the past two years, Dignity has taken more emphasis in its learning programmes on the links between human rights and development and in particular to meet the growing demand for training on human rights based development. Again the content, methodology and process taken by Dignity have met with tremendous praise by the participants who regard the programmes as not only up scaling their knowledge and skills on human rights based development, but also transforming attitudes.
