Enter Social Rights in Armenia

Description:
The term Social Rights has became a buzz word lately. Everyone speaks about it, but no one really knows what does it mean and people keep asking: Is it just about human rights? Is that rights from European Union or not? What does it include? How can put it to our projects? How can we make it concrete and practical to act in my community?

Enter Social Rights in Armenia is a training course, which was developed as a module for youth workers/trainers to help them to answer their questions concerning the (Social) rights issues and its implementation in their communities. Have the European Social Charter as base and background, we will approach the idea of Social Rights in different levels: Housing, Education, Health, Employment, Non-Discrimination, Legal and Social Protection and Movement of Persons. We will work on case, examples and community in practice. Together, we will be working on improving the “good examples” on how to motivate youngsters aware and active on their community and beyond.
