Jan 23, 2007News: ILGA-Europe is organising training on Using Video in Monitoring Pride Marches
By vanrozenheim
ILGA-Europe is inviting to take part in a capacity building event which will take part in Romania on 18-20 April 2007. There will be two seminars organised simultaneously on the subjects of using video in monitoring pride marches and documenting human rights violations.
The training on Using Video in Monitoring Pride Marches is organised by Witness and ILGA-Europe will provide participants with skills on using video documenting for advocacy purposes. The training is open for LGBT activists who are planning to monitor pride marches where it is contentious by using video. Part of the footages will be used for a video which ILGA-Europe will produce and present to international institutions to highlight violations on the freedom of assembly in Europe. The training will be focused on this objective and will be also quite practical with use of video during exercises. Activists from countries where there have been issues with pride marches or who are planning to organise their first pride marches are invited to apply for this training.
The Documenting Human Rights Violations advanced training is targeted at participants that may have some experience but want to deepen their knowledge on the subject. Together with external experts, participants will have the opportunity to improve their skills in developing instruments for documentation of human rights violations, producing subsequent reports for advocacy purposes, collection of raw data, fact-finding process, data organisation and data analysis. The seminar will be practically-focused.
ILGA-Europe can provide scholarships, which will cover travel, accommodation and meals for a total of 30 participants. The participants are expected to arrive on the 17th of April and leave on the 20th of April in the afternoon or on the 21st.
Detailed informations can be found on ILGA's website.
