About the International Webinar

The world is facing an unprecedented crisis due to COVID 19. At its core is a global public health emergency on a scale not seen for a
century, requiring a global response with far-reaching consequences for our economic, social and political lives. The priority is to
save lives. In view of the exceptional situation and to preserve life, countries have no choice but to adopt extraordinary measures.
Extensive lockdowns, adopted to slow down the transmission of infectious virus, restrict by necessity freedom of movement and in
the process freedom to enjoy many other human rights. Such measures can inadvertently affect people’s livelihoods and security, their
access to health care not only for COVID-19 but for other health issues, to food, water and sanitation, work, education - as well as to
leisure.
The concept of value is expressed in different life situations as significant in fulfilling our mental, emotional, spiritual or practical
requirement. It may also simply be described as that which we find good or meaningful. As human beings we are particularly struck
by the values which we discerned in human relationships or in men's actions and behaviour. Therefore, 'value' is a concept which is
widely applied in man's life. Referring to these phenomena, Paul Roubickez, explains: "In the sphere of values, contradictions are the
rule". At any time, we know human values generally fluctuate in relative importance: different people value different things at
different times. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had the power to shift everyone’s psychological needs and drivers. During the
pandemic, the anxiety has changed many important values for huge numbers of us.
The COVID-19 crisis has aggravated the vulnerability of the least protected in society. It has highlighted deep economic and social
inequalities and inadequate health and social protection systems that require urgent attention as part of the public health response
throughout the globe. Women and men, children, youth and older persons, refugees and migrants, the poor, people with disabilities,
persons in detention, minorities, LGBTI people, among others, are all being affected differently in developed, developing and
underdeveloped countries. State has an obligation to ensure everyone is protected and included in the response to this crisis. This is
not a time to neglect human rights; it is a time when, more than ever, human rights are needed to navigate this crisis in a way that will
allow us, as soon as possible, to focus again on achieving equitable sustainable development and sustaining peace. Measures needed
to be taken to mitigate any such unintended consequences. Observing the crisis and its impact through a human rights lens puts a
focus on how it is affecting people on the ground, particularly the most vulnerable among us, and what can be done about it now, and
in the long term. This Webinar will discuss how educational interventions can address the various Human Rights issues and concerns
along with the changing values patterns which have come up because of COVID 19.
