From 8 to 12 December 2025, the Human Rights Research Network (HRRN) invites you to participate in Human Rights Week, an annual event for collective reflection on how human rights are experienced, represented, and contested across communities and disciplines.

This year, we focus on how human rights take shape during moments of profound ecological, political, and cultural transformation. Our programme emphasizes that human rights are not only protected through institutions and legal norms but also imagined, narrated, and made legible through the stories people tell.

Events include a documentary capturing pressures on Indigenous livelihoods; a public lecture exploring human rights in EU external action; a poetry evening giving voice to Palestinian writers; a co-creative workshop on cinematographic storytelling, and more.
