[hr-education] Summer course "Innovative Law Teaching: Human Rights" (Budapest, 10-14 July 2006)

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to solicit your help to promote the Central European
University (CEU) summer program on Human Rights among your colleagues,
your contacts or any interested academics and professionals.
 
The CEU Summer University (SUN) program hosts high-level,
research-oriented, interdisciplinary and innovative academic courses as
well as workshops on policy issues for professional development in the
social sciences and the humanities. The one- or two-week long courses
involve distinguished international faculty (including CEU professors),
and advanced doctoral students, junior or post-doctoral researchers,
teachers and professionals as participants. Financial aid is available
(see further details on the web site).

The course entitled "Columbia-CEU Workshop on Innovative Law Teaching:
Human Rights and Ethics" may be of particular interest to you.

This is a course for junior law faculty and senior students interested in
pursuing academic career, who wish to learn more about the use of
innovative methods of teaching human rights law and ethics, including
experiential learning. The workshop is devoted to giving participants
knowledge on cutting-edge substantive law topics, specifically within the
themes of human rights and ethics, as well as skills-training in new
methods of pedagogy. The goal of the course is to convey challenging
material, technical know-how and motivation to a group of young academics
who will be expected to have an impact on reform of higher legal education
through their own curricular innovations.
 
The course will consist of three components: selected human rights and
advocacy issues, questions of ethics and professional responsibility and
teaching methodology. Case studies and hypotheticals will be included to
foster an environment for interactive learning. Participants will be
divided into 3-4 groups and asked to prepare a class on a selected topic
from human rights and ethics and present it at the end of the course.

The application deadline is February 14, 2006, unless stated otherwise in
the announcement of a particular course.
