Noored Ühiskonna Heaks (NYH) is promoting a call for participants for a Training Course called "Be Aware of Your Rights!", which will take place from the 20th until the 29th of June 2025 in Busteni, Romania.

About the Project

"Be Aware of Your Rights!" - Human rights cannot be defended and promoted by legal instruments alone. Human rights education – learning about, learning through and learning for human rights – is essential to make sure that they are understood, upheld and promoted by everyone.
Human rights reflect basic human needs; they establish the basic standards without which people cannot live in dignity. Human rights are about equality, dignity, respect, freedom and justice.

The groups that are the most vulnerable to human rights violations are women, girls, LGBTQI+, migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, ethnic/racial/religious minorities, people with disabilities, children, youth, older people, people with various (mental) health conditions, homeless, living in poverty, activists, journalist, workers, etc.

Human rights education aims to create a world with a culture of human rights. This is a culture where everyone’s rights are respected and rights themselves are respected; a culture where people understand their rights and responsibilities, recognise human rights violations and take action to protect the rights of others.

Through this project, we want to enable a new generation of Human Rights Educators across Europe to act as Facilitators of Human Rights Education for various groups in their communities that are affected by human rights abuses and violations.
