The Estonian Human Rights Centre in cooperation with IOM Estonia is looking for 16-24-year-old Estonian youth and Ukrainian refugee youth to participate in a camp about human rights, equal treatment and democracy. The 3-day camp will raise awareness of civil society and empower young people to bring human rights activities to their communities. Participation is free, all costs are covered by the Estonian Human Rights Centre. Apply now!
The main goal of the project is to help Ukrainian and Estonian youth to understand their role as members of a democratic society, become spokespersons for human rights and active civil society members. The initiatives created by participants will bring human rights and democratic principles closer to their communities, helping to create a more equal society. By learning from each other and acting together, the project aims to create bridges between different communities living in Estonia.
An interactive camp “Human rights ABC” will provide a thorough overview of important topics such as human rights, equal treatment, refugee rights, democracy and rule of law. Together we will discover ways for every participant to stand for human rights and a more equal world in their own communities, by creating human rights and democracy themed projects – this can be anything like a video, a photography exhibition, a cooking course or an app. Every project will receive a stipend and participants will be guided by mentors to bring the projects to life. The working language of the project is English.
To participate, let us know through the registration form. You can apply until January 24, 2025. Please note that the number of participants is limited. We will provide feedback to those interested by January 31.
The project is funded by the Bilateral Relations Fund of the European Economic Area and Norway Grants.

It is important to protect everyone’s human rights, because it helps to keep stability and peace in the society. There are many challenges for protection of human rights in Estonia: intolerance has really come out of the closet. Bad things happen when good people are too passive, but together we can make a change.
