The 8th International Training Session on the Universal Periodic Review aims, among others, establish discussion methods for the priorities of the review, specifically in the fields of education and civil society. Likewise, it aims to specify the role of human rights education within the UPR.
The training is mainly organised for teachers, educators, researchers, and NGO involved in human rights education.
