While addressing the gathering during the closing ceremony of the summer school, Fr. (Dr.) Stephen Mavely, Vice Chancellor of Assam Don Bosco University said, \u201cHuman Rights for Social Development is about reaching out to the peripheries. It is about ensuring that all human beings are able to live with dignity and respect.\u201d He called upon everyone to participate in their respective institutions, communities and countries to make it possible for all to enjoy their rights.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Ursula Fasselt, Professor of Social Work and Health, who was also the Convener of the Summer School, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, also said, \u201cIt was a very inspiring week. We all experienced a journey which brought us from a theoretical concept \u2013 every person being endorsed with inalienable, indivisible, universal Human Rights \u2013 to a deep feeling about the necessity of social change in order to fully implement those rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the ten-day period, special lectures on human rights for social development, field visits to Human Rights agencies, interaction with development practitioners, Art Exhibition on Communication for Human Rights, street play, among other activities were held. The Exhibition was the outcome of the weeklong intensive workshops facilitated by Meike Porz and Prof. Bernard Kayser from Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, and faculty members of Assam Don Bosco University.
