This will be done by discussing in class a rights-based approach which look at two fields in which the two above mentioned categories of human rights play an interrelated role: community engagement & community development. By reflecting on current situations in both developed and developing countries, the course will be designed in a way in which students can gain a practical understanding of human rights.
