> Dignity International and our partners believe that Human Rights and 
Development must go hand in hand as both share the same core functions. They 
cannot be separated and must complement each other to ensure the continuous 
sustainable progress of the human race, while ensuring the environment and other 
entities within it are protected and preserved. Human Rights provide a moral, 
authoritative and legal framework to tackle root causes of poverty – the 
deep-rooted structures of discrimination – i.e. the global processes of 
impoverishment. A human rights framework has the potential to deal with not only 
legal justice, which is the primary preoccupation of traditional human rights 
organisations, but also economic and social justice which is central to 
development work. Meanwhile, development is the primary motive to provide basic 
structural change.
> 
> For the 10th consecutive year, Dignity International is proud to organise our 
signature capacity building program again, which will continue to empower human 
rights activists and development agency leaders, as well as leaders of civil 
society and grassroots community organizers. The learning enhances the skills, 
knowledge and spirit to uphold the principles of Human Rights and to bring 
Economic Social and Cultural rights to the ground.
> 
> This programme will build on the successes of the previous learning programmes 
on “Human Rights-Based Development”, and on “Economic Social and Cultural 
Rights” organised by Dignity International, with a range of national, regional 
and international participants.
> 
> Dignity’s programmes are designed as a process of mutual learning, with the 
participants´ experience and realities as the starting point of the learning 
process. Active participation and in-depth reflection – individually, in groups, 
and in plenary - are the key contributors to the success of the programme.
> 
> Based on non-formal education and learner-centred methodologies, this 
programme provides a mutual learning atmosphere where participants can compare 
their approaches and concerns in a safe, intercultural context. In addition to 
that, the use of experiential methods and case studies strengthens the practical 
side of the programme.
> 
> The call for the Global programme is now OPEN. We are happy to receive 
applications to this historical 10th Annual Global Linking and Learning 
Programme.
