WORKSHOPS & EVENTS

Each year we deliver workshops and events that support young people in schools, business leaders and the wider community to engage in human rights discourses.

PAST EVENTS

CREATIVE PLACARD MAKING

Teaching young people their human rights in creative ways. From the right to be your own person, to standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, these young people demonstrated how their human rights directly apply to their everyday lives.

LOUDSPEAKER PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOPS

In collaboration with Loudspeaker Live, we delivered public speaking and confidence workshops for young people on our Speak Truth To Power programme. During the session they learnt how to listen and how to communicate their viewpoints in a series of debates.

HUMAN RIGHTS TATTOO

Human Rights Tattoo came to Manchester and the UK, for the first time. The project sets out to tattoo each letter of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on the individuals around the world who hold their own human rights story. As part of the event we revealed our 30 Illustrated Articles of Human Rights project in an exclusive exhibition.
