| Objectives |
This annual comprehensive human rights and advocacy course is the oldest of its kind in the region. The first course was run over four weeks in Sydney in 1990. It provides participants with a solid foundation of knowledge about the international human rights framework and the UN system. There are intensive sessions on advocacy and media skills and on using the internet, as well as exploration of some of the contemporary human rights challenges associated with globalisation.
Since 1990, DTP’s flagship annual program has been held in Dili, Sydney, Bangkok, Kathmandu, Colombo, Suva, Manila and Wellington. In 2005, 06, 09, 10, 11, 12, 12, and 2016 it was held in Timor Leste, the homeland of DTP's Founder and Patron, Jose Ramos-Horta. |
