On July 14, 1789, the French stormed the Bastille, a medieval
fortress-prison in Paris in one of the key moments of the French
Revolution.
The average people were fed up with the Ancien Régime — aka the monarchy — and they were protesting the vast inequality between themselves and the upper echelon.
Fast forward 266 years: inequality is still a major issue.
"We have reached a tipping point. Inequality in OECD countries is at its highest since records began," OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said in a recent report.
Mexico, Chile, the US and Turkey have the highest inequality among the OECD members. And inequality is even higher in emerging economies. On the flip side, Denmark, Slovenia, and Czech Republic have the lowest.
"The evidence shows that high inequality is bad for growth. The case for policy action is as much economic as social. By not addressing inequality, governments are cutting into the social fabric of their countries and hurting their long-term economic growth," Gurría added.
For what it's worth, France is below the OECD average.

Stay Tuned Online
Training Course
12-19 September 2015 | Djakovo, Croatia
Training Course about online communication in Youth Work.
Deadline: 15 May, 2015
Open to: MA/PhD holders / currently enrolled at postgraduate degree program in human rights, international law, political science, international relations, philosophy, sociology or related subjects OR with one year experience in organizations in this field
Venue: Monastery of San Nicolò, Venice – Lido, Italy from 6 July to 15 July, 2015
About The Venice Academy of Human Rights
The Venice Academy of Human Rights for this year will focus on the theme of: (Dis)Integration through Human Rights: Citizens, Courts, Communities. It will take place at the Monastery of San Nicolò, Venice – Lido, Italy from Monday, 6 July to Wednesday, 15 July 2015.
Human Rights often form the basis for integration processes into various communities, be they national, regional or international. In this context, human and fundamental rights are hailed as shared values and foundations of communal convergence. Yet other voices highlight the homogenising, civilising and excluding effects of these integration processes.
The Venice Academy of Human Rights 2015 will look at international, regional and transnational integration processes from an institutional, policy, dogmatic and interdisciplinary perspective. The discussion addresses communities of various actors, including citizens, peoples, minorities, but also communities of international and regional organisations, courts and private bodies. How become communities imaginable and how are they constructed? What role do fundamental and human rights play in building and consolidating these communities? How do courts and judicial bodies forge communities and integration processes? What happens to differences and diverse identities? And what are the darker sides of these processes for those on the periphery or outside the community? These are but some of the questions that the Venice Academy of Human Rights will raise and discuss.
Courses during the first week will focus on topics of multiculturalism, minorities and courts. The second week focuses on the European integration project.
Eligibility
The Academy is an intensive programme of high standard and applicants should be confident that they are academically and linguistically prepared. All courses will be taught in English. It is, therefore, indispensable that all participants understand and speak English without any difficulty.
Participants must:
- hold a LLM/MA or PhD/JSD or be currently enrolled in a postgraduate degree programme in human rights, international law, political science, international relations, philosophy, sociology or related subjects; OR
- have work experience of at least one year in one of these fields in an international or non-governmental organisation; OR
- work on human rights issues for a government authority or in academia.
Costs
The participation fee is 600 EUR. The fee includes enrollment, lunch during the week (Monday-Friday), use of the facilities at EIUC (including wireless access) and social events. The registration fee does not include accommodation. The Venice Academy of Human Rights does not offer scholarships or waivers of the participations fee.
All participants must ensure sufficient funds to support themselves during the programme. The Academy is happy to provide support letters to employers and grant institutions.
Accommodation
The Academy offers a limited number of rooms in student residencies and hostels that can be booked through the Academy. Prices range from 450 EUR for a room shared with another participant to 780 EUR for a single room for 11 nights. Detailed information will be sent to all admitted participants.

Training Course
24-29 May 2015 | Konstancin-Jeziorna, Poland
“Energy by Synergy TC” is targeted at voluntary and professional youth workers with a draft Erasmus+ project plan, interested in building up strong long lasting partnerships and getting inspired to work on innovatory ideas and putting them into practice.
Partnership… it feels better when it lasts longer...
“Energy by Synergy TC” is targeted at voluntary and professional youth workers with a draft Erasmus+ project plan, interested in building up strong partnerships. Long-term partnerships and sustainable networks have gained a big importance within the Erasmus+ Programme. Many organisations and their youth workers don’t know how to make this happen. So unfortunately, projects mostly end after the last day of the activity and the collaborations die together with them.
How can you have sustainable impact on regular youth work and make sustainable changes and collaborations by doing Erasmus+ projects? How can you obtain more than ‘just make another project’?
We carefully selected two mayor elements to work on:
1. Creation of an inspiring common vision for the changes that you would like to happen in the future.
2. A supported strategic plan which integrates project management elements such as how to build up your network, intercultural communication, common aims & desired outcomes.

Activities
This training course is an opportunity for you to get inspired and challenged to work on innovatory ideas and put them into practice. It will not be about how to apply for an Erasmus+ Programme, although the participants will have the opportunity in brief to get to know Key Action 2 of Erasmus+, which supports building up strategic partnerships.
Through the training course, we want to encourage participants to direct their own learning and to exchange experiences and good practises. We support this process by a variety of methods such as simulations, future thinking techniques, open space, outdoor activities and mentoring.
