How to Support Us

Become "A Friend of the Diplomacy Training Program"

Since its Foundation by José Ramos-Horta in 1989,  the Diplomacy Training Program has emerged as a unique organisation playing a significant role in providing knowledge and skills to frontline human rights defenders across the Asia-Pacific region and to Indigenous Australians.

From 1999-2003 the work of the Diplomacy Training Program was largely sustained by the generosity of one man, Tom Kantor, who believed in the value of its work.  

In 2003, inspired by Tom Kantor’s example, José Ramos-Horta launched the Friends of the Diplomacy Training Program.

Internships

The Diplomacy Training Program accepts two interns per semester through UNSW Faculty of Law’s Social Justice Project.

In addition it responds on case-by-case basis to requests for internships from elsewhere in Australia and internationally.

Efforts are made to ensure that interns are able to work on a specific project area or program of interest to them. If you would like to enquire about an internship please click here.

"The best thing about the course was the people who attended and told their stories. Next was the range of information which was shared. A treasure trove of tools and insights to take home and study"
