EHU initiates a wide project to train specialists who, sharing the values in the field of human rights, constitutionalism and public administration, after studying the basics and mastering the skills of effective public administration based on human rights, will apply them in their legitimate professional practice and / or civil activity.
EHU invites Lithuanian academic, state and public institutions to work together to create programs that will help students from former Soviet Union countries learn new skills and abilities that they will apply to increase respect for human rights and understanding of each person’s responsibility to participate in governance at the national level, as well as to empower the individual to act in order to develop the capabilities of each individual and to help prevent the stigma of social apathy,marginalization, intolerance and violence in society.
The first step towards the establishment of the consortium “European Education on Values and Humanity”, the purpose of which is effective cooperation in the field of transferring knowledge, experience and best practices in the field of university education will be a conference, which will serve as a common platform for discussion. The conference simultaneously finalizes the project of Jean Monet Chair in the field of teaching the constitutional law of the EU and ensures its further development in new forms and on new platforms.
The conference will result in the agreements, as well as a list of recommendations, documents and plans for cooperation in the field of transferring knowledge, experience and best practices in the field of university education within the consortium “European Education on values and humanity”, as well as the community of students and alumni of EHU “Humanities university and humanitarian practices”.
