Education on Minority Rights (Friday, December 10, 2010)

The sixth day of the project was focused on gaining practical skills on how to best take actions in order to raise awareness about national and ethnic minority rights.

Our first guest was Ms. Kinga Brudzińska, HIA Senior Fellow, who shared her experience of creating and conducting an HIA action project devoted to minority issues (to read more about Kinga’s project click here).


Later on, Mr. Łukasz Mielnik (trainer for Amnesty International) led a session in which participants conducted their workshops on specific aspects of human and minority rights. Their ideas and techniques were discussed by an “expert panel” composed of Mr. Mielnik and the rest of the group. Thanks to this system, each and every person had the chance to develop his or her own training skills and received some feedback on possible ways to make their project more professional. The whole process was not only fruitful but also fun!


In the late afternoon, the @ctivation.pl participants took part in the celebration of International Human Rights Day organized by HIA PL at the University of Warsaw Library. It was a public event devoted to people with disabilities in Poland entitled “Looking for the Cure. People with Disabilities in Poland: from Patients to Citizens“.
