OUTLINE FOR A WORKSHOP

1. Introductions, etc. are made. The facilitator outlines the program for the workshop.

2. The facilitator gives a presentation of the different dimensions of human rights, identifying the seven dimensions used in the horizontal axis of the matrix.

3. The facilitator gives a presentation of ideas about the cultural, religious, philosophical and ideological origins of human rights, emphasising diversity.

4. Participants break into seven groups (or multiples of seven for larger groups). Each group is allocated one category of rights (social, economic, etc.) and asked to apply the ideas from the previous presentation to that category of rights. Each group is given a set of questions about the cultural, religious, philosophical and ideological traditions of human rights, as listed on the next page, and asked to put their ideas on butcher's paper.

5. Each small group briefly reports back to the whole group, allowing time for questions and suggestions from others.

6. The facilitator gives a brief presentation on individual and collective ideas of rights.

7. Each group is then assigned a different category of rights (for example, the group that first had social rights might be allocated economic rights) and given a new set of questions related to individual/collective rights, and the process is repeated.

This process (steps 3 to 5) is repeated until all eight sets of questions have been applied to all seven categories of rights; that is, all 56 sections of the matrix have been completed and there are 56 pieces of butcher's paper (or more if there are more than seven groups).
