Call for Application : SALT 4

SALT IV will be held in training center of PACOS TRUST located at Kg. Lomunu, in the vicinity of the Donggongon town. Under the aegis of the Malaysian Catholic Students' Movement (MCSM), there is an urgent need for university students to better understand the plight of IPs (Indigenous Peoples) in the 2nd United Nation Decade (2005-2015) of Indigenous People by living with the IPs who are marginalized by the global market-economy which drives the government to license big co-operations to log and re-plant the IP’s ancestral homeland for profit. 

SALT program is aimed at:

• Cultivating a growing sense of solidarity with the marginalized in our society.
• Equipping each participant with the spiral pedagogy of experience and reflection in the light of faith
• Enabling participants to understand God's perennial calling humankind to promote human rights, justice, indigenous people (Orang Asal), and environment.
• Empowering participants to become committed agents of social transformation
• Study the United Nations' Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) regarding the standards and violations. Develop critical understandings and strategies to uphold the fundamental human rights through effective networking and advocacy at international level, regional and at grassroots level.

Deadline

25rd March 2011
