Back Launch of the free 'HELP in the 28' course "Labour Rights as Human Rights"

In times of economic recession, the creation of jobs as well as the protection of labour rights is of utmost importance. A better understanding of the human rights’ dimension of labour rights by legal professionals is needed.

The ‘HELP in the 28’ course on “Labour Rights” covers in an interactive way the key concepts, the European system of protection of labour rights (stemming from the CoE and EU) and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) as well as conclusions and decisions of the European Social Committee.

Throughout this course, legal professionals will gain practical understanding of when and how to apply the European system of protection of labour rights.

More specifically, the course has the following substantive modules:

Right to work and employment relationship
Working time
of employment
Equality and non-discrimination
Collective labour rights
Freedom of association – the right to negotiate
Occupational safety and health

The course has been developed thanks to the “HELP in the 28” Programme implemented by the Council of Europe. Funded by the EU, “HELP in the 28” is the largest training project within the EU on fundamental rights for judges, prosecutors and lawyers.

If you complete the course and, due to its length, scores over 40% in the multiple choice questions throughout it, you will be entitled to print a ‘statement of accomplishment’ from the HELP in the 28 Programme.

The HELP PROGRAMME

What is HELP?

The European Programme for Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals (HELP) supports the Council of Europe member states in implementing the European Convention on Human Rights (the Convention) at the national level, in accordance with the Committee of Ministers Recommendation (2004) 4, the 2010 Interlaken Declaration, the 2012 Brighton Declaration and the 2015 Brussels declaration.

This is done by enhancing the capacity of judges, lawyers and prosecutors in all 46 member states to apply the Convention in their daily work. Indeed, legal professionals, who are at the forefront of the protection of human rights, including those of victims, must benefit from high-quality training.

HELP in the EU

The European Programme for Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals in the European Union member states (HELP in the EU) supports legal professionals to enhance their capacities to effectively and coherently apply European fundamental rights standards at the national level and through cross-border training, mainly referring to the EU Charter on Fundamental Rights (the Charter), the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Social Charter and relevant EU and Council of Europe Law.

Furthermore, the project wishes to strengthen the HELP EU Network and increase mutual trust between EU practicioners.
