ODVV
Foreign Internship
For the purpose of promoting and gaining further experience in its research and education field,
and also expanding links and interaction with students, the ODVV provides an opportunity for
internal and external interns. To-date a number of students from other countries have spent
internship periods at the ODVV over the last few years. In total there were 10 interns in 2016.
Links with Honorary Members
Towards the realisation of its objectives and activities, the ODVV utilises the volunteer force with
consideration of their field of expertise.
To this aim, with the launching of the ODVV Volunteers Group on the internet and the facilitation
and exchange of up to date communication and information in human rights fields mong the
group members, the scene for their activities and the blossoming of their capacities and talents
was created.
Towards the commemoration of international days, and also establishment of bilateral links with
honorary members and benefiting from their invaluable experiences in the field of human rights,
on the sidelines of the International Volunteer Day commemoration, the ODVV prepared an
honorary member data bank. The data bank is fully up to date through the contacts the ODVV
has had with honorary members.
An example of the activities of this group is the active participation and cooperation and presence
of these members in holding education workshops and courses and also writing articles for the
Farsi, English and Arabic websites and Defenders Newsletters.
After becoming members, the honorary members can benefit from the following facilities:
- Use of the ODVV library
- Access to reports and researches available
- Access to the internet, website and subscription to electronic newsletters (English and farsi)
- Benefit from ODVV publications and links
- Participation in meetings, conferences, seminars, sittings and education courses
