The CHAIR, established the 4th September 2004, is a training and research
facility, whose objective is the ability to articulate the effectiveness of human
rights with international cooperation based on an ethics that totally recognizes
the autonomy and responsibility of individuals and communities, promoting
dialogue among the different disciplines to develop a “code of conduct” based
on political dialogue, regarding mutual respect, governance and institutional
support.
The activities of the UNESCO Chair of Bergamo develop along two main axes:
RESEARCH and TRANING on issues of human rights, cultural diversity and
international cooperation.
