Model International Criminal Court
Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Model International Criminal Court (MICC) is an innovative approach in human rights education. The working programme for the years 2015 to 2017 proposed by 12 partner organizations from Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America encompasses a large-scale youth meeting, capacity building for youth workers and peer trainers as well as workshops to develop Open Educational Resources. MICC encourages and emboldens youth from all over the world to engage with human rights and their enforcement through international criminal law. It bases on the rationale that motivating young people to invest their time and capacities in the protection of human rights needs more than just knowledge. It is the first hand experience that creates that sort of motivation. Furthermore, MICC lays the foundation for intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding between participants of various backgrounds, and empowers the participants to become agents of change in their communities by opening up the subject of human rights violations and war crimes in a non-confrontational way. It also provides youth workers with a powerful tool to teach human rights.
