Human Rights Education BIM Annual Report 2008 European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation (E.MA) Summary The European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation (E.MA) is a one-year, interuniversity and inter-disciplinary postgraduate programme. The programme aims at educating experts in the field of human rights and democratisation and to prepare them for their future work in international organisations, such as the EU, UN, OSCE and NGOs. During the first semester, which is taught in Venice, the students receive a comprehensive introduction into the historical, philosophical, anthropological, political and legal fundamentals of international human rights. At the end of the first semester, the BIM organises a field trip to Kosovo. The students spend the summer semester in one of the 41 participating universities all over the EU, where they take part in seminars and write their master thesis.

BIM Annual Report 2008 Human Rights Education Training Curriculum on Fundamental Rights for Judgeship Trainees Summary In cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Justice, the Association of Austrian Judges (Expert Group “Fundamental Rights”) and two other Austrian human rights institutes, the BIM has been developing a human rights curriculum for judgeship trainees from April 2007 onwards. In 2008, a first round of fundamental rights seminars was conducted, which have continuously been modified and optimised based upon both, the lecturers’ experiences and the feedback received from the participants. The initial workshop took place in April 2008 in Graz, followed by two seminars in Vienna in September and November 2008, as well as one organised for trainees from Linz and Innsbruck. To provide a basis for the training of judgeship trainees, a script was being drafted that explains, clarifies and provides case studies on sensitive issues with regard to fundamental and human rights. The seminars are based on a tandem-principle, in which human rights experts from the three institutes involved together with senior judges, introduce the trainees into fields of national law that are notably linked to the diverse fundamental and human rights issues. The curriculum as such has a strong focus on the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the “European Convention on Human Rights” and the “EU Charta of Fundamental Rights”, e.g. the right to liberty and security, the right to a fair trial, the right to respect for private and family life, freedom of expression and the prohibition of discrimination.
