Registration for for-credit students is open until Monday April 16^th but outside of that category, people can apply until the end of May. The capacity for the course is 40 participants and the theme is “Indigenous Arts and Culture”, to contribute and address the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Thank you in advance for your help in this regard.

Best wishes,

Viviana

The Connection between the Arts and Human Rights

In recognition of the Arts as an integral medium of learning and expression, the HRREC launched the Arts and Human Rights Program. This powerful initiative seeks to raise awareness and engage individuals in a multidisciplinary interrogation of human rights issues framed through various forms of creative artistic expression such as visual, performance, media, cinematography, musical and literary arts. The AHR summer course brings to life the teaching component of the program and explores areas of study directly related to the foci of the HRREC. The curriculum blends traditional and artistic pedagogical methods.

If you have questions about the summer school, do not hesitate to contact us at arthrrec@uottawa.ca.
