This project was actually a continuation of the project "Education for Human Rights 2000-2001". In this project, like in previous one, the Albanian Center for Human Rights was our partner. Our teams went to working visits of Tirana for five times, attending trainings for human rights, i.e. models for implementation and also representatives from ACHR visited our organization and helped in the part of administrative working in the organization and its institutional development.
The project Human Rights Education started in January 2002. This project was concerned at two aspects: institutional building of Center for Civic Initiative and education for children and youth in the field of human rights.
The Institutional building component was valued as high priority for Center for Civic Initiative, since this is a stone foundation for the major prosperity in the NGO development processes. This includes the ability to communicate with other NGOs, donors and/or institutions within Macedonia and abroad. The participation on various seminars or/and conferences are due to the recognized success that CCI achieved so far.
Center for Civic Initiative became institutionally strong NGO, well promoted with its activities which include 450 children and 150 teenagers annually, as well as with its work on the human capacity building through internal seminars for its member.
Thanks to the generous help of CORDAID, institutionally, Center for Civic Initiative is widely recognized as one of the most doing well NGOs in Macedonia.
The project was unique of its kind in Prilep, since through six associated activities, the population between 7 and 18 years old were getting familiar with the concept of human rights. The associated activities were:
|
Human Rights;
|
|
Social Skills;
|
|
English language;
|
|
Computers;
|
|
Street Law;
|
|
Forum Drama
|
The children activities were Human Rights, Social Skills, English language and Computers, whilst the teenagers attend Street Law, Forum Drama, English and Computers. This education associated with the institutional building of CCI, was again supported by CORDAID in the period 2002/2003. The Human Rights program included non formal methodology of teaching, which was well accepted, in the previous period by this target group and had positive impact on the philosophy of understanding the human rights issues.
