Human Rights Day

The Centre commemorates International Human Rights Day each in December with a two-part film series. The day programme includes the showing of a human rights themed film to second level students followed by workshops given by Centre staff. The evening programme features a second human rights film followed by the presentation of the Waterford Humanitarian Award to a member of the Waterford community who has demonstrated a long-term commitment to the rights of others.
