The ACT Project has entered into a new phase in its support for global action to promote human rights education at the field level. The fifth phase (2005-2007) of the ACT Project puts a special emphasis on activities related to human rights education in the primary and secondary school systems (including, for instance, material development/translation; workshop/training course for relevant authorities, teachers and other education personnel; school competitions and debates), although not exclusively supporting grants in this area.
LAUNCH OF THE 5TH PHASE (2005-2007) OF THE ACT PROJECT: GRANTS TO NGOs FOR HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES
