April 22 - May 31
Brighton 
United Kingdom		 The Participation Group, (PG), at the Institute of Development Studies, (IDS), University of Sussex, is inviting applications for our first Learning Fellowship Programme.

The LF will closely examine the rationale, methods, and results of the participatory approach in human rights advocacy. Examples of human rights work include: law and constitutional reform, human rights education, women's rights, rights of minorities, and socio-economic rights advocacy. The LF seeks to highlight the challenges and successes of citizen-centred advocacy in different contexts, using different methods.
