The Council of Europe programme office and the European Union Delegation in Skopje jointly organized, in cooperation with the Faculties of Law and Economics, an awareness raising event for students. The Council of Europe briefly outlined its main areas of work under the ongoing joint cooperation framework with the EU (“Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey”) and a former judge from the European Court of Human Rights briefed students about the role of the European Court in redressing human rights violations. Students, who were also briefed about the  Council of Europe online human rights training programme (“HELP”), mentioned in particular the importance of raising the population’s awareness about their rights.
