2) Training PCHR Staff Members on Human Rights and Democracy
This activity focused on providing PCHR training staff with updated information on
techniques of training and delivering lectures to other staff members, as some of them
work in technical jobs and so do not have extensive knowledge on human rights and
democracy issues.
2.1) Providing PCHR Training Staff with Updated Information on
Techniques of Training
It was agreed with PCHR’s administration to equip the unit with modern technology
for training activities, such as a digital projector, laptop and Microsoft Power Point,
and to train the training staff on their use by the beginning of 2006.
2.2) Organizing Lectures for PCHR Staff on Human Rights
In 2005, two staff members participated in training courses organized by the unit. It
was not possible to hold the planned course on gender and its incorporation into units’
activities in 2005 due to the lack of necessary funding. This course will be held in
2006, as the necessary funds are now available.
3) Maintaining Contacts with Trainees and Establishing an Alumni Organization
3.1) Creating Files of Contact Details of Trainees
The unit has started to make a full list of all participants in the training courses. In
2005, the unit filed the contact details of 552 trainees. The list includes names, places
of residence, work places, telephone and fax numbers, e-mails, the coordinating
institutions, as well as the date and location of courses.
3.2) Periodic Meetings with Trainees and Encouraging Them to Be Members
of an Alumni Body
The unit continued its efforts to establish an alumni body of individuals who have
received training at PCHR. However, the unit was unable, for reasons out of its
control, to officially declare the establishment of the alumni body, although the main
steps towards creating this group have already been taken. The unit laid foundations
for establishing this body through the following steps:
• The unit spoke to dozens of persons who had already received training at PCHR
and presented the idea of the alumni body to them. They welcomed the idea.
