It is the responsibility of the National Group and the National Coordinator to deliver/disperse these materials further to the organizers/Local Groups for each selected event.

 

Should you choose not to fill in the address, your National and Local Groups will be disqualified from selection for the visibility materials, but all of your specified events will still be part of the Annual Human Rights Campaign and you may still be eligible to apply your events for the AHRC Competition when the Evaluation form comes out (January-March).

The National Coordinator is responsible for guaranteeing that your National Group is able to receive and pick up shipments at the above filled in address, as well as ensuring that your National Group carries out its responsibility to deliver these shipments further to the Local Groups/organizers of each event the visibility materials are awarded to (or eventually redirect them directly to the organizers in communication with the Council of Europe).

According to Article 3.2.a. of the International Council Meeting Decision Book, each National Group shall internally appoint a National Coordinator for the Annual Human Rights Campaign to be responsible for the coordination of the Campaign in the Group and communication with ELSA International.

N.B. Later in the year, more specifically leading up to the spring International Council Meeting of the term , the Evaluation Form will be shared with the Network and organising Groups will have the chance to participate in the AHRC Competition.

This is relevant for the National Coordinator, as the Coordinator of the winning National Group shall be awarded a 4–8 week long unpaid Study Visit at ELSA's Human Rights Partner, the Council of Europe – an opportunity for the winning Coordinator not only to learn about the project organisation, communication and advocacy efforts of the Council of Europe, but also foster significant connections and opportunities while volunteering in their headquarters in Strasbourg, France.
