History of The UWI St. Augustine Faculty of Law and EU:

The Faculty of Law, UWI, St. Augustine won its first consultancy-project grant funded by the European Union in August 2015.  The name of the project is entitled “Growing Local Capacity for Elevating Trinidad and Tobago to International Human Rights Standards”.  As the name implies, the focus of the bid is on human rights and is for a duration of 24 months.  The Faculty envisages that the project will entail liaising with civil society organisations, government institutions as several activities in the project are performed.  The main activities in the project includes the design and implementation of public awareness campaigns to include a Human Rights Open Day; co-development and implementation of training modules with stakeholders, preparation and presentation of Research and Litigation Strategy; short films, workshops, public discussions and research.
