Postgraduation in Children’s Rights

The Postgraduation in Children’s Rights is part of the Chair of the Policy Centre for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and will focus on the rights and interests of children from a legal perspective, with a transversal and multidisciplinary approach to the main issues raised in the field of Children’s Law, 35 years after the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
This postgraduate programme lasts four months and is structured into five thematic modules, which focus on the various issues related to the Family and Children. In addition to a complete and in-depth legal analysis, a holistic and multidisciplinary approach is also favoured in the context of the sessions in order to concretise not only the international, regional and national normative guidelines, but also an approach to the most relevant issues that concern all children and, in particular, children in situations of particular vulnerability.
The launch of this initiative aims to fill an existing gap in this area of law and is therefore aimed at lawyers (recent law graduates, lawyers, magistrates) and other graduates and professionals in the areas of family and children’s rights, as well as senior managers and technicians from the various government areas of the state and civil society, providing participants with extensive information and a space for reflection and debate on relevant issues concerning children’s rights.
