Anniversary: An act of memory

As part of the LSE Space for Thought Literary Festival we are encouraging participation in a collective recitation, from memory, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Participants are invited to choose an article of the UDHR, memorise it, and recite it in their language of choice alone and with others at LSE on Saturday 13 February 2010. More information about this event.

Understanding Children's Human Rights short course

This practically-focussed course, consisting of six two-hour seminars on consecutive Monday evenings (and an additional study seminar), places international human rights law as it affects children in perspective. This course is designed for professional participants involved in either developing policy and practice in relation to children, or working in child rights and child protection. Campaigners and lawyers working in child law will be able to use the course to update and develop their knowledge in this crucial area of their work. The standard course fee is £990 and the Centre is pleased to be able to offer up to eight subsidised places, five partially funded (half price) and up to three fully funded places for those would otherwise be unable to attend.
