Next to the guidance of three major organisations: Justice & Peace Netherlands, Stichting Our Bodies Our Voice, and Human Security Collective, young people with a passion for human rights develop proposals not only to dream but also to create a more just world where 'other worlds are possible.

This was an incredibly valuable opportunity to both deepen my own knowledge of human rights, particularly on human security, social safety, migrant rights, and gender rights, and to connect with a cohort of inspiring people that have committed themselves and their careers to working on these issues.

The Summer Edition enabled me to connect with a diverse group of participants and speakers, increasing my knowledge and interest in Human Rights, particularly regarding NGOs in the Netherlands. I’ve learned useful methods like Participatory Action Research (PAR), active listening, and storytelling, which help promote Human Rights and make sure that those affected by violations can share their voices and experiences.
