After a first session common to all participants dedicated to a general introduction on international systems of protection of human rights and related mechanisms, the programme will develop into the three thematic areas among which participants will have to choose:

- Human Rights as Our Responsibility, focused in particular on the role of civil society and on the responsibility to protect (see the program);
- Human Rights and Business, with the aim to provide a balanced view covering both the legal framework and corporate practice (see the program);
- Human Rights and Climate Change, focused on the globalisation and on the global environmental issues (see the program).
