ERC International Programs: Human Rights Immersion - El Salvador & Guatemala

Living the option for the poor: the Church in the struggle for human rights
El Salvador & Guatemala: 1st to 20th January 2011

The Edmund Rice Centre is conducting an international human rights immersion program in January 2011 partnership with the Catholic Education Office of the Archdiocese of Sydney. This formation program for is being offered for those who seeking to explore further a faith-inspired commitment to social justice.

The immersion facilitates for participants an experience-based transformational education for justice through the engagement with the ERC's international partner organisations visited. International immersion experiences develop a new and internalised sense of our world, and of structures of inequity within it, from the perspectives of the economically excluded.

URGENT! Support our work for asylum seekers.

Update: ERC Director, Phil Glendenning, recently returned to Australia from Afghanistan after 10 days interviewing returned asylum seekers again in Kabul.

ERC is redoubling our efforts to find a third-country resettlement option for those returnees from Australia with whom we have been able to make contact. We need financial support to achieve this.

Such work uncovers high levels of risk for the deportees (and for our researchers). Research publications are available here.

Listen to Phil speak of the visit to ABC Radio National's Phillip Adams.
