The PPGDH is the result of a long accumulation of previous experiences in teaching, research and university extension in human rights carried out at UFPB over the last 25 years. It is structured according to two inseparable pillars: the interdisciplinary nature of its training and the articulation between teaching, research and extension. The program brings together faculty members who share a common understanding of the theoretical and practical significance of human rights, fostering a plurality of perspectives and encouraging free and critical debate among its members.
