Celebrating 10 Years of HRCP!
Join us to celebrate HRCP's 10-year anniversary! 🥳
📆 22 June
⏰ 15:00
📍 PdL
HRCP was founded in 2014 to supplement existing courses at IHEID, particularly in the context of conflict or post-conflict environments. Since then, we have organised events ranging from panel discussions, networking events, filmscreenings and informal chats. These events have touched on a variety of themes from statelessness, to children's protection in conflict and indigenous rights, and continues to strive to bring attention to these key issues.
HRCP therefore warmly invites you to join us in raising a glass to an incredible 10 years and for those still to come!
The celebration will take place on June 22 at 15:00 in Perle du Lac. The event is open to all students and alumni and light refreshments will be provided.

He is the founder of Children’s Right for Healthcare (CRH). Dr Salti has already carried out numerous missions, mainly in the West Bank and Gaza, but also in Madagascar. All of the funds raised at this bake sale with this fundraiser will be donated to CRH. This event is done in collaboration with the Migration Initiative, QISA, ASA, LANI and the HRCP Initiative.
