The third and final international training session was held in Dakar, Senegal from 20 to 25 September 2010. It grouped 28 partners from the training program on Economic, Social and Cultural rights enforceability approaches (Benin, Cameroon, Mali, Senegal, Togo, India, Philippines, Brazil, Mexico and France).
The project consists in exchanging experiences in order to build our methodological capacities and skills: How to enforce ESC rights? Through what kind of actions? With whom? etc. Training sessions are organised by social leaders who master a specific ESC rights claiming method. These sessions are directed towards other countries’ social leaders who have no - or insufficient - knowledge thereof. The goal is to share these experiences and learn the ESC rights enforceability methods used by our colleagues in Africa, Asia and South America, in order to re-appropriate them when possible.
