Rights and Participatory Principles;

(ii) You then to identify and select one example of an international and / or local NGO / non-

each of your selected organisation’s website ready to discuss with your demonstrator (via the

(iii) Discuss your understanding of the Principle, as well as your selected case study, with your
allocated demonstrator and be sure to go through any other queries you may have. Thereafter
you will have a week to complete the worksheet below for submission to your demonstrator
for assessment;

(v) Although the standard procedure for tutorial completion and submission is on a weekly cycle,
the tutorials will be available for the duration of the course, with reasonable, adaptive
timeframes established for completion. If you miss a deadline we will have a backup deadline,
or if you can’t submit a word document, you can arrange an alternative submission option
with your demonstrator (e.g. a Whatsapp voicenote, or a picture taken of a handwritten
page). COMMUNICATION and COLLABORATION will be key here. Your demonstrator is in
charge, so make an arrangement with them that works for both of you.
