Posted on in: Categories Events

We are delighted to announce that applications for our 2021 Academy and Conference on Human Rights at the Local and Regional Levels are now open! 

> Apply now!

The 2021 Academy and Conference “Human Rights Go Local: What Works” will demonstrate innovative approaches and proven practices for making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable by following a human rights-based approach.

The specific goals of the Academy and the Conference are closely connected to each other.

The Academy’s aim is to collect proven methods for research on human rights at the local level and to formulate guidance for local governments on how their policies can be supported by evidence that is based on human rights research. It aims to facilitate implementation by directly providing local level politicians and authorities with the findings and proposals gathered during the Academy.

The Conference’s goal is to support local level authorities with condensed knowledge on the state of the art in research on human rights at local level and to assist them with concrete proposals on how to locally implement the international agenda following a human rights-based approach.

Apply now until 30 November 2020 and find all information you need to apply on our event page!
