28 JULY 2006, Kharkiv

On the 28th of July the meeting of the PMT on Human Rights Traveller (HRT) workcamp (WC) was held in Kharkiv.
The participants of the meeting were: Galya Uvarova (camp leader of HRT), Andrey Kurasov (responsible for HRT preparation), and Jasmin Sohner (EVS volunteer experienced in Human Rights education in school). Another camp leader Zlata Bayrachnaya was absent.

The goals of the meeting were focused on:

• Outlining of the program for the HRT
• Detailed planning of first three days of the WC
• Possible division of responsibilities between camp leaders
• Defining the sources of materials for the trainings and study parts, which will be developed during the WC
• The list of potential organizations and institutions, which work in the field of HR for possible meetings during the WC

All the goals of the meeting but one were accomplished successfully. However, it was pointless to discuss the division of responsibilities between camp leaders because Zlata was absent.

After redefining the goals of the project the detailed and at the same time flexible program was outlined. The first three days were planned especially carefully. There were discussed the methods and forms to organize various activities during the first days, defined days of visits and stays in WCs. However, the program was worked out in order to make it flexible according to the desires and plans of volunteers, weather, financial resources, and the program in the WCs, which will be visited.

The technical questions such as accommodation, meals and transportation at the WCs were discussed as well.

Here are the ideas of possible follow-up of the HRT WC that were discussed at the meeting:

• Issuing of publication, brochure with study sessions on HR and about traveling WC
• Outlining similar projects in the cooperation with other partners of YTNF project
• Launching the series of brochures on HR education, which will be issued once per year at the result of HRT WCs
• Manual for organization of HR traveling workcamps
• Implementing or incorporating some ideas to the Peace Tour done by AVI-Moldova or Euroidea in the next year
• EVS volunteers activities at local schools
• Presentations of study sessions and prepared work locally at the place, where the volunteers live
