The HELP Annual Network Conference is the main gathering of the HELP Network members and partners. It provides a forum to present the latest HELP courses developed and key HELP projects. It is also a forum for discussion on how to enhance the impact of human rights training and how to improve effective co-operation among all members and partners of the HELP Network.
In 2020, due to the limitations caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, the HELP Network Conference will exceptionally be held in an entirely online format.
The objectives of the conference are:
- To highlight the response of the Council of Europe Programme on Human Rights Educational for Legal Professionals (HELP) to the situation caused by the coronavirus outbreak
- To mark the 70th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights
- To inform on the current challenges for the respect of certain rights guaranteed with the ECHR and on the HELP response to those challenges through the HELP online courses
- To present the developments in the HELP Programme since the 2019 HELP Network Conference:
- an update on the HELP projects and initiatives
- newly developed or updated HELP courses
- To provide the HELP Network members a forum for addressing their peers
- To present to the HELP Network the newly established Council of Europe Academic Network (CEAN) and discuss links and synergies between CEAN and HELP
