Despite progress in various areas, vulnerable groups continue to experience human rights violations, leading to harmful effects on individuals and communities. These injustices perpetuate cycles of inequality, exclusion, and discrimination, emphasizing the urgent need for educational and social initiatives that promote and defend human rights. 

Human rights are the foundation of a fair and inclusive society. However, their violation remains a persistent issue worldwide. Empowering young people from diverse backgrounds by providing them with a platform to engage with peers across Europe, exchange ideas, and actively participate in discussions on equality and human rights is essential to fostering a society that values dignity and respect for all. Inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, this initiative offers youth participants the opportunity to expand their knowledge through interactive workshops, collaborative projects, and real-world simulations. These activities explore the challenges and responsibilities of advocating for human rights within their communities and beyond.

Age of participants: 18 – 30
