Dear colleague,
You signed up to attend the BIHR open course on Healthcare and Human Rights in February. I wanted to let you know about a couple of other BIHR free events / activities you could get involved in. I’d also be really grateful if you could share these with your colleagues and contacts.
60th anniversary of ECHR
The 3 September 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) coming into force. At BIHR we think this is something to celebrate.
We are co-ordinating a Birthday Card to the ECHR, which is attached. The Birthday Card is open for signature from individuals and organisations (or both!). We will be delivering the Birthday Card to the Council of Europe. The birthday card will be open for signature until Monday 2nd at midday. To sign, just reply to this email, or see the ‘ECHR at 60’ page of our website where you will also find a selection of special 60th anniversary resources and other exciting activities we have planned.
Human Rights Tour visits Wolverhampton!
BIHR is hosting a series of free-to-attend events on human rights as part of our annual Human Rights Tour. BIHR will be visiting 17 towns and cities across the UK, hosting events in partnership with a range of voluntary and public sector partners. Each event will explore why you need human rights and why human rights need you (including an update on the current political debates on human rights in the UK).
The Tour will visit Wolverhampton on 18 September. It would be great to see you there. For more information (including other dates and locations) and to book your place, please visit our website http://www.bihr.org.uk/events/the-human-rights-tour-2013-4
I hope to see you there!
Many thanks and best wishes,
Helen
