Following the various training courses planned, a common module will be designed that will allow for the updating and/or creation of optional subjects in various masters and postgraduate courses in the partner universities, as well as the creation of degrees and short courses. Despite its location in the field of higher education, special attention will be paid to the training of journalists, political and social actors, and officials of the various branches of government (specifically the judiciary), since the separation of powers, and in particular judicial independence and the correct location of constitutional justice, are essential pillars for the survival of the democratic state. DEMOS is endorsed -as associate partners- by all the Ministries of Justice of the Latin American partner universities (Brazil, Peru, Colombia and Chile). |
