Beskrivelse af udbuddet
The trace-study of the AR.MA programme aims to trace and document the professional and/or academic activities of persons who have previously been (or currently are) affiliated with the AR.MA programme. To date, approximately 70 people have graduated from the AR.MA programme. Getting feedback from former students and exploring the degree to which these former students are today involved in human rights-related activities, the study will provide inspiration to improve the AR.MA programme. Insofar as the study will involve alumni from 4 different years (2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017), it will be able to get inspiration from both a short and long term perspective.
The trace-study is also an opportunity to assess how it can improve the involvement of alumni, to further benefit from their knowledge and resources after they leave the programme. The trace-study also seeks to capture any recommendations and ideas from AR.MA alumni on how best to establish a mutually fruitful relationship with the AR.MA programme after they graduate.
