[hr-education] Launch of the 5th phase (2005-2007) of the ACT project: grants to NGOs for HRE activities

LAUNCH OF THE 5TH PHASE (2005-2007) OF THE ACT PROJECT: GRANTS TO NGOs FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES

The ACT Project has entered into a new phase in its support for global
action to promote human rights education at the field level.

The fifth phase (2005-2007) of the ACT Project puts a special emphasis on
activities related to human rights education in the primary and secondary
school systems (including, for instance, material development/translation;
workshop/training course for relevant authorities, teachers and other
education personnel; school competitions and debates), although not
exclusively supporting grants in this area. This is to create synergy with
the newly-proclaimed World Programme for Human Rights Education
(2005-ongoing) , whose first phase (2005-2007) focuses on the primary and
secondary school systems. In principle, the time allocated to the grant
recipients to carry out the funded activities will be of six months
(tentatively, March-October 2006).
