Our aim is quite specific: to do things based on the UN Charter, the Declaration of Human Rights. The people we produce have a kind of mission that’s related to what is in those documents. For example, a young man who graduated last year went back to Kenya, and was given a job as the acting National High Commissioner for Human Rights. That was right before the events we all know of. So here was a student suddenly catapulted into a central position on a major world human rights issue. This, I think, is perhaps a little bit special.
We also try to reach out to the world. We are doing curriculum building programmes in different universities across the world, trying to find ways to offer this programme of study in different ways to people who can’t or won’t come to our Costa Rica campus. We are also trying to do distance education.
Much of the content is similar to what’s going on in other universities. We get professors and visiting professors from other universities. They go back, refresh their thinking and then teach in their own courses. So it’s great.
