Minority and Indigenous Rights in Practice

The protection of Minorities, Indigenous communities, as well as cultural and linguistic diversity is one of the most serious challenges of the present day. Many instruments of national and international law seek to respond to these needs. However, reports monitoring the implementation of those regulations demonstrate that we still have a lot to improve in this area.

During the course, students will explore the most important aspects of the legal protection of Minorities and Indigenous communities, with particular emphasis on language rights and their influence on education, political representation, recognition of traditional knowledge, and environmental protection.  

As a result, participants will be able to consciously evaluate and participate in activities aimed at improving the situation of Minority and Indigenous groups.
