Online Seminar on "Human and Civil Rights": Call for Applications

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation's International Academy for Leadership (IAF) invites human rights activists, lawyers and politicians active in the human rights field to join an online seminar on "Human and Civil Rights". The seminar will be from 06 June – 03 July 2011. For more information on the topic, please click here.

The seminar is divided into three phases. In the first part, participants are given materials to read to deepen their knowledge and are encouraged to discuss via an online forum their thoughts and insights. Participants will then be asked to write an essay. Based on their contribution, IAF will invite 24 participants for the second and third phases. The second part is a preparatory phase for the on-site seminar (third phase) in Gummersbach, Germany to continue the discussions from 14 – 26 August 2011.

The seminar does not require participants to be online at all times. They have the flexibility to work at their own pace provided they meet the deadlines assigned to each task.

Application procedure: Please e-mail letters of intent outlining responsibilities and relevance to the seminar applied for and CVs to egypt@fnst.org. Only short listed candidates will be contacted.

FNF's Regional Office in Cairo will only evaluate applications from Egypt. If you live in another country, please contact the Foundation's office in your country or nearest to your country. The deadline for submission of applications is 18 May 2011.
