As the theme suggests, the symposium will not only inform the participants, but aims to empower participants to chose action over apathy, interaction over separation, intervention over isolation and dialogue over silence. This page and other pages on this site will be constantly updated to provide interested participants with the information necessary to get involved with the week of events and the ongoing human rights struggle.
