HUMAN RIGHTS ACADEMY: BEING A REFUGEE IN HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
Warsaw
22 October 2022
The ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association became a partner of the Human Rights Academy organized by the Danube Dialogue Institute Foundation (Dunaj Instytut Dialogu).
Info from the organizers:
This year we are more than glad and honoured to organise our 3rd Human Rights Academy with a significant attention to refugees in humanitarian crisis.
The Academy wants to help participants understand the difficulties refugees have to face not only during their journey but also because of the arbitrary actions of different transit countries, and also because of the stereotypes people have on them. In line with that, we will be accompanied by distinguished speakers who are experts in this field.
We aim to raise awareness on this sensitive topic by talking about the refugee crisis, the protection of refugee rights in international law and the role of NGOs.
Those who are willing to give us a hand to raise our voice in human rights, are more than welcomed.
