Human Rights Talks in the Winter Term 2025/26: A Virtual Tour Around the World of Human Rights
The Human Rights Talks is a project of the FAU CHREN Human Rights Clinic in the winter term 2025/26, which will take you on a virtual world tour of human rights related NGOs in the style of „Around the World in 80 Days“. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in the field of human rights are independent, non-profit entities that operate at local, national, or international levels with the primary aim of promoting, protecting, and advancing human rights. They engage in activities such as monitoring and reporting abuses, advocating for legal and policy reforms, raising public awareness, providing support and protection to victims, and fostering compliance with international human rights standards. During ninety-minute online sessions, you will explore the world of NGOs and engage in discussions with experts from civil society practice in different world regions. Get to know how NGOs work, how they analyse legal situations framing their work and how they create networks to help vulnerable groups of people in the countries and regions they operate. The Human Rights Talks will give you an impression of the diverse human rights issues in the different regions of the world – they also represent an opportunity for global networking and finding out about what the world of defending human rights has to offer as a career perspective. The Talks will be held in Friday sessions during the winter term (Zoom or, in exceptional cases, in-person).
