ABOUT THE
PROJECT.
Put your voice to work. Put your rights in action.
“Rights in Action” is an Erasmus+ youth exchange inviting young people to explore human rights, challenge discrimination, and learn how to take meaningful action in their communities.
Over 7 engaging days, participants will dive into human rights education through interactive workshops, discussions, and hands-on activities. Together with peers from across Europe, you’ll explore how human rights affect everyday life, build skills to stand up against injustice, and design youth-led actions that promote inclusion, dignity, and equality.
This project is for young people who don’t just want to understand what’s happening in the world, but also want to be part of shaping what comes next.
