Project: Human Rights Education for the Police
Evaluation Date: May 2012
Report: [report link]

Lesson Learned:

The workshops and study tours were very effective at awareness raising among the police educators and for one participant were “an eye opener which took the staff of the faculties out of their academic isolation”. Participants left the training owning the idea that dedicated human rights courses for the police must be held in Kazakhstan.
