Training Programme on: “Legal Resources for
Social Action & Empowerment”
August 22 – September 04, 2007
Dear Friends,
This is to announce our programme. on “Legal
Resources for Social Action and Empowerment” scheduled for August 22nd
to September 4th, 2007.
This programme is meant to equip Social
activists and Religious working at the grassroots and also young and
promising people’s leaders from NGOs who need to be equipped with
adequate legal knowledge.
People who are working at the grassroots often
overlook the fact that law has the potential to usher in social change
and to empower the weaker sections. This potential of law needs to be
optimized positively and effectively used to achieve justice and to
bring about social changes in order to build a new and just society.
With out any rudimentary legal training, this objective cannot be
achieved.
We will be happy to have one or two persons
deputed from your organisation for this Legal training. To
