The training course entitled „Human Rights in the context of people with disabilities” tried fills the gap between the human right issues and the people with disabilities rights. It is also worth mentioning that this gap concerns mainly European projects about education towards human rights in disabled people context. The objective of workshops was to introduce participants to the concept and the international documents of human rights in the context of people with disabilities, discrimination and marginalization of people with disabilities, intolerance, violence and harassment. It was also a great opportunity to learn the methods of work with youth with disabilities, creation and realization of Youth Programme projects. The project was design for youth workers from the following countries: Italy, Turkey, Romania, Spain, Poland, France and Luxembourg.

What are Human Rights?
Human Rights are the rights and liberties which belong to every individual and are the same for all human beings regardless of race, sex, religion, health, opinions, language, national or social origin etc. Human rights are universal. They owe the inherent dignity to all of the people, and not from someone’s decision, that is why we call them natural rights. They are also irrevocable, as there is no power that can take them away from us and we cannot abandon or resign from them. They exist irrespective of the authority – thus they are indefeasible and cannot be controlled by it. These are the kind of rights that exist only in relation of a human being’s – authority, therefore this is what we say about their vertical character, (particular example here in a relationship between a parent and a child, this is why we can notice parental power). A state is an institution which is responsible for protecting these rights.

Human rights formally acknowledged the priority of international community 59 years ago, on the 10th of December 1948, when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted. Since then they have been named the universal principles embracing all aspects of human life.

All along, the UN have been supervising the creation of law regulations concerning human rights, doing their best to make these norms to be the commonly respected law, not only ethical guidelines. Respecting human rights and human dignity was considered the base for justice and peace in the world. Human Rights Education has recently become extremely important. This kind of education is a basic tool in building the culture, which respects these rights as well as protecting it’s form of abusing them. This is an on-going process, but it is absolutely essential for building open and tolerant civil society.

What about rights people with disabilities?
When we speak of fundamental rights’, we refer to those rights that are also frequently described as „fundamental freedoms” and which are claimed to allow each of us the fullest and freest possible development of personality and independence. These human rights are regarded as inborn in individuals regardless of who they are or where they come from and they are asserted to exist whether or not domestic or international law acknowledges or protects them. Fundamental freedoms or human rights are viewed as being above human-made law.

People with disabilities are all covered by the fundamental freedoms inherent in the UN human rights instruments. Although not specifically mentioned as a group, we are covered by „and others”, in the list of groups to be protected.

In referring to people with disabilities we are including people, of all ages, with physical, sensory and intellectual impairments and survivors and users of the mental health system Each one of these people is an individual with the same right to the freest possible development and independence.

The topic of the training course „Human Rights in the context of people with disabilities” was an excellent concept. The program of the training course was formed from; non-formal education, intercultural learning, human rights education, group discussions, program evaluation and the most important one for me is including people into the all activities while organizing a project. There was a great diversity of organizations and cultures represented. In a very supportive and friendly atmosphere. I learnt a lot from group discussions and workshops. At the end of the training course, I was very happy to meet all these interesting people. We have made friendships, developed our understandings of human interactions with people from different countries, also we gained a deeper understanding of people with different disabilities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_blockquote font_family=”none”]The project organized Polish Association for Human Right Education COMPASS collaboration with International Institute for the Study of Culture and Education ULS.
