The Human Rights Creatives - 22 June 2022

22 June 2022 from 18.00 to 19:30 CEST

The fifth webinar of this series focuses on the creatives among the graduates. There are those who may never step into the courtroom to defend human rights but are creating impact and lasting change through their artisitic and cultural work.
Meet the human rights creatives who are skillfully wielding the tools of literature, music, dance and film to advocate for human rights.
