Young Leaders Forum 2015 cancelled

The Faculty of Law of McGill University, its Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism (CHRLP) as well as Gordon Echenberg and the Penny and Gordon Echenberg Family Foundation are sad to announce that the Young Leaders Forum 2015 has been cancelled. 

We would like to thank each of the more than 1,300 individuals who sent us an application – the Centre reviewed every one and we were inspired by the work that is being done in human rights around the world. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to individual applicants and thank you for your interest in this initiative. 

The McGill Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism (CHRLP) and the Echenberg Family Foundation are ending their work together, following a meaningful collaboration that began in 2006. 

A key part of this collaboration, the Young Leaders Forum, created an international community of scholars, practitioners and activists who worked together to advance understandings of complex the human rights issues raised by the subject matter of each of its Global Conferences.
