Summary of project results
The project has improved the situation in the area of public information on human rights. An integrated portal on human rights in the Czech language has been created, which can be used free of charge by all persons dealing with human rights issues. The biggest challenge, but also a benefit of the project, is the linking of several databases of human rights institutions into one place, so that visitors to the web portal can search several different databases through one query.
The main activities of the project were:
1. creation of a web portal on human rights - the result is an information system with up-to-date and relevant information.
2. creation of an electronic compatibility manual - the result is a tool for assessing the compatibility of proposed legislation with the Human Rights Charter.
3. Human rights education - an activity provided by the PF UK partner, which resulted in the innovation of professional courses dealing with human rights, new study aids and trained persons.
4. Publicity - resulting in a final professional conference where networking and exchange of experiences took place as well as a series of podcasts on human rights.
The main outputs are:
- web portal with linked databases of human rights institutions (3)
- thematic handbooks (20)
- compatibility manual
- Innovated courses and study materials
- Seminars implemented
- International conference held
- podcast series.
