2007, Geneva: 13th Summer University on human rights[Specialisation Programme in economic, social and cultural rights and the right to education.] Among the international community the demand for training in the field of economic, social and cultural rights is increasing constantly. The Collège universitaire Henry Dunant offers a programme to respond to this need: the Specialisation Programme in Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Right to Education. The Summer University on human rights (SUHR) of the Henry Dunant University Collège (HDUC) has twelve years experience in this field. The specialising programmes the Summer University offers strive to improve the skills needed in the international protection of economic, social and cultural rights [Millennium Development Goals (MDG), Education For All (EFA)]. The Henry Dunant University College follows closely the evolution of the economic, social and cultural rights at the United Nations (general observations, special rapporteurs' reports and conclusions of working groups). HDUC-SUHR's teaching staff is comprised of experts from international organisations, university professors, diplomats and members of NGOs. The courses and the workshops are mostly held at the headquarters of international organisations in Geneva. The training is realised in close collaboration with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UNESCO. Its programmes give the opportunity to take part in the sessions of human rights protection mechanisms like the Council of Human Rights, the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights or the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD). The training, which is given to a limited group of 40 participants, promotes diversity: different age and languages, diverse social origins, various cultural, religious and professional backgrounds and experience within the group itself. Finally, the aim of HDUC-SUHR’s sessions reach beyond mere training: they introduce the participants to a global human rights network comprised of hundreds of persons in 85 countries. I.
