On 23-26 April 2013, the Mihai Eminescu Lyceum in the village of Corjova, raion Dubasari (Transnistrian region), organized a series of activities to promote human rights.
On 23 April, a training workshop was organized on the topic: “Human Rights – Basic Concepts”. During the workshop, 22 young people from senior classes were trained on the basic concepts and principles of human rights as well as on the classification of human rights. The young participants also learned more about the rights provided in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights.
On the next two days, on 25 and 26 April, young people from Corjova were involved in less usual activities to learn and promote human rights, and namely in intellectual games. Divided into three teams, the participants played the games of “Brain Ring” and “Match”. It should be noted that the moderators used both general knowledge questions and thematic questions of human rights during the games, thus facilitating a better learning of the concepts of human rights.
Most importantly, all activities were organized and moderated by a group of young people from Corjova that had previously gone through a Training of Trainers course “Learning to Teach Human Rights through Intellectual Games”, which was organized by Promo-LEX Association in partnership with the Moldovan Intellectual Games Club and with financial support from the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau. The young people who attended the Training of Trainers course thus become multipliers in the field of human rights and intellectual games.
In May, such activities organized and moderated by young people from Transnistria are expected to be held in other schools in Tiraspol, Grigoriopol, Tighina and Rîbnița.
Note that the Course and the multiplying activities are part of the project “Human Rights Begin with Education” implemented with financial support by the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau.
