Human rights belong to everyone, yet they can often feel abstract or distant from daily life. The ABCs of Human Rights: A Community Voice Project brings these principles closer to home in a simple, creative way. Through two interactive learning sessions, participants worked together to explore human rights from A to Z, connecting each letter to real experiences, ideas, and stories.
The sessions resulted in a co-created booklet that is written by the participants themselves. It is meant to capture the shared community perspective on human rights.
The project empowered individuals from all walks of life with knowledge and tools to strengthen dignity, equality, and participation in society.
The digital booklet is available here.
Get in touch if you would like to discuss it further and use within your community as limited print edition is available.
