Human Rights – An Introduction    NEW

What are human rights?  The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948, in response to the atrocities of World War II.  Human rights have become a part of social expectations, but how do they affect us?

This workshop will help you:

  • Identify the link between oppression and class struggles;
  • Determine how all kinds of discriminations operated in the past, and how they operate today;
  • Challenge oppressive attitudes and behaviours, ideas and systems in our society through individual and collective action;
  • Explore how talking about human rights issues strengthens our union.

You may only pre-register online.  Your registration is not complete until the registration form and payment is received by the registrar.  Please see the attached brochure.

Scents and Fragrances:

In response to the health concerns of our members and staff, CUPE has implemented a Scent-Free Policy at all of our workshops.  Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches.  Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Registration fee is dependent on what type of accommodation you require.

$710 to $935 per person (see brochure for details)
