About the workshop
The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) is organizing a five-day training workshop on human rights monitoring and safety and security for human rights defenders (HRDs) working in three thematic areas: 1) human rights of Roma and Sinti, 2) human rights of people of African descent, and 3) environmental protection issues. The objective of the training event is to enable HRDs to independently carry out quality and objective human rights monitoring activities in a safe and secure manner.
The training programme covers the human rights monitoring cycle; physical safety and security of human rights monitors; and digital security, including secure information management. During group exercises, participants will be divided based on their field of work/interest and coached by a senior professional expert. ODIHR will select up to eight participants per group. The training sessions will combine theory and practice and participants will be engaged in role-play scenarios.
Costs
The training is offered free of charge to selected participants, including travel and accommodation expenses.
Who is this training for?
The training is specifically designed for human rights defenders with proven experience of human rights monitoring. It is aimed at human rights defenders throughout the OSCE region, especially working on environmental protection issues and Roma/Sinti and people of African descent issues.

*The OSCE/ODIHR recognizes as a human right defender any person promoting and striving for the realization of human rights regardless of profession, age or other status. Human rights defenders carry out their human rights activities individually or jointly with others, as part of an informal group or as a non-governmental organization (NGO), and act in a voluntary capacity or professionally. The key characteristic that defines human rights defenders is not who they are, but what they do and the principles they stand for.
