Day 3: Wrapping Up Our Study Visit![]()
![]()
Today marks the end of our study visit in Oslo, and we are heading back home. Yesterday's sessions were incredibly thought-provoking as we discussed the outputs, outcomes, and impacts of human rights projects. We also engaged in a meaningful discussion about whether it is possible to change an individual's racist or discriminatory position, and whether it is our role to try and change these views or to respect and understand their perspectives and experiences.![]()

It was a challenging topic, and we explored the balance between advocating for human rights and respecting individual viewpoints. What are your thoughts on this issue? Can we, or should we, strive to change such deeply held beliefs?![]()

Day 2 in Oslo – Lunch Break Update!![]()
![]()
This morning, we delved deeper into human rights work by engaging in some hands-on activities. We were divided into two groups and tasked with identifying minority groups in Malta whose human rights are being violated. This exercise was very insightful as we brainstormed on the rights holders, responsibility holders, and duty bearers for these groups.![]()

Understanding these roles is crucial as it forms the planning stage of any human rights project. Now, we’re moving on to the second step: the implementation phase. This session promises to provide practical strategies and tools for effectively addressing human rights issues.![]()

End of Day 1 in Oslo!![]()

Today has been a very insightful start to our study visit. We kicked off with an introduction to human rights, followed by an engaging discussion about human rights protection and the various actors involved. We also explored participatory democracy and the human-rights approach, delving into how these principles are implemented in practice.![]()

One of the key takeaways from today is that human rights are not always black or white. They can be quite subjective, and there are instances where protecting the rights of one group can impact the rights of another. This nuanced understanding is crucial as we work towards fostering a more inclusive society.![]()
