syllabus All dates, sessions, readings and faculty are subject to change. Students may access readings in the box.com general folder under the Clinical Seminar sub-folder. Should there be any changes or additions to the syllabus, program staff or faculty will email students directly. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Acquaint students with key theoretical issues on human rights and global governance; • Equip students to think about the relationship between theory and practice to help explain empirical evidence and experience; • Expose students to emerging issues and theoretical questions in the world of human rights and governance; • Acquaint students with a leadership for change framework and the components of strategic thinking; • Practice and develop leadership and strategy building skills; • Apply these frameworks and skills to deepen students’ understanding of the organizations at which they will undertake their internships. MODES OF LEARNING • 90 minute to two-hour sessions two to three sessions per day; • A theoretical, expository phase illustrated by examples taken from human rights work, accompanied by small group discussion and reporting; • A case approach, using six shared cases to ground discussions of human rights and governance in concrete examples; • A skill-building session to build capacity and self-confidence in applying tactics. CASE METHOD One purpose of case teaching is to help people learn by moving from the particular to the general. Faculty will use cases to create a knowledge base shared by all seminar participants. The case method will also allow faculty to explore and illustrate key concepts and theory. Faculty will work with the following cases: 1. The Landmine Campaign Case; 2. The Female Genital Cutting (FGC) Multimedia Case; 3. The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) Case; 4. The Blood Diamonds and the the Kimberely Process Case; 5. The International Criminal Court Case; 6.

logistics PRE-SEMINAR READING Students are required to read Andrew Clapham’s book Human Rights: A Very Short Introduction prior to the seminar. This primer will ensure that all students enter the seminar with a basic knowledge of human rights theory. In addition, we ask that all students prepare for the seminar by reviewing all case readings. Please see the syllabus (page 21) for more information. EVALUATIONS Students and faculty will be asked to evaluate the seminar on several occasions. These evaluations will be delivered via SurveyMonkey and we expect students to complete each evaluation. As a member of OSIRG’s second cohort, your feedback is important and will help OSIRG staff improve the program. Each evaluation will also give you an opportunity to provide general comments. Evaluations will distributed among OSIRG staff and faculty. You may choose to make your evaluation anonymous. MENTORING As a reminder, you and your faculty mentor must schedule individual appointments. Students do not neccessarily need to meet with menotrs at the times listed on the schedule. However, we expect that you will meet with your mentor at least once. Throughout the seminar, there will be a number of free nights with either optional activities or no planned activities. We encourage you to use one of these nights to have dinner with a member of the OSIRG faculty. It is a great opportunity to discuss your future projects, their experiences, and to solicit advice. Please note that while OSIRG staff is happy to provide guidance, you are responsible for organizing these dinners. Costs associated with these dinners will not be reimbursed by OSF. PERSONAL NARRATIVES At the end of the seminar, you will present your internship project in the form of a personal narrative. Throughout the seminar, faculty and invited guests will share their personal narratives. The seminar’s theoretical and practical sessions combined with these examples of personal narrative should guide your preparation for this presentation. Additionally, we ask that you apply the tactics and approaches learned during the seminar to your presentation. Please note that your personal narrative should be no more than five minutes and should include an overview of your internship project. You may use presentation software to enhance your narrative. If your presentation has an electronic component or if you would like program staff to print any presentation aids, please inform Nikoletta Kroo ([email protected]) on or before 23 June.

TRANSPORTATION Budapest has an excellent public transit system consisting of subways, buses, trolleys, trams and HEV, an electric commuter train. Tickets are available via automated machines at all metro stations and most stations also have cashiers at ticket windows. Tickets can also be purchased at some newsstands, tram stops and on some buses. Tickets can be bought individually, in discounted books of 10 or in the form of daily, weekly or monthly passes. As the machines, newsstands, tram stops and buses are not always reliable, we suggest purchasing tickets from the cashier. You must validate your ticket before beginning your trip on the metro or immediately upon boarding a bus, tram, trolley or commuter train. Tickets are valid for 90 minutes after validation or for 90 minutes on the night service. Passes and tickets are checked by inspectors at random and you will be fined 6000 HUF if you cannot produce your pass or validated ticket. If fined, ask for a receipt, as foreigners are sometimes overcharged. Public transportation runs from 4:30 to 23:00 and is both regular and frequent. Night trams and buses run on an abbreviated schedule. Schedules are posted at all stops and detailed system maps are posted in all metro stations. Please note that OSIRG will fund transport to mandatory social activities. TECHNOLOGY Voltage Hungarian electric supply is 220V and all outlets require the standard Continental plug.

The Open Society Internship for Rights and Governance is a joint program of the Open Society Foundations and the School of Public Policy of the Central European University.

The Open Society Foundations, which began 1979, remain today committed to the global struggle for open society and responding quickly to the challenges and opportunities of the future. Their mission is to build vibrant and tolerant societies whose governments are accountable and open to the participation of all people. Our geographical reach continued to expand in the first decade of the new millennium. By 2010 we played a role in every region of the world. In a substantial number of countries where we are active, the Foundations are a leading supporter — and sometimes the lone supporter — of efforts to promote democratic governance, respect for the rule of law, protection of the rights of minorities, and civil and political liberties. From Africa to Latin America, there are over 38 national or regional offices, and 28 thematic programs which support the overall mission of the Foundations. In the worldwide struggle for open society, we are in the forefront of many significant global campaigns, including the development of international tribunals holding accountable government officials and leaders of antigovernment forces responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide; transparency and accountability for the revenues that governments derive from the exploitation of natural resources; and implementation of national freedom of information laws.

Founded in 2011, the School of Public Policy (SPP) at Central European University, in the words of its founder, George Soros, is a“new kind of global institution dealing with global problems” through multi-disciplinary study of public policy, innovative teaching and research, as well as meaningful engagement with policy practice. In fostering links between researchers and practitioners across multiple fields, it aspires to produce relevant, creative and evidence-based proposals capable of strengthening open societies at both global and local levels. In 2013, SPP welcomed its inaugural class of 26 students from 21 countries to its two-year US accredited multi-disciplinary MPA program designed to cultivate a mindset that emphasizes critical thinking, entrepreneurship, innovation, cultural awareness, and a commitment to the public good. SPP’s academic curriculum is complemented by practical and experiential learning techniques, including the Skills for Impact program, which teaches skills such as leadership, negotiation, and management, and the Passion Project, a student-designed policy consultancy for real world clients. SPP’s students are the future social and political entrepreneurs, equipped to make innovative contributions towards resolving the paramount public policy challenges of the 21st century.
