FullyFunded Scholarship Unleashing Human Rights Forum 2025 in Hungary

Invitation to the 2025 Unleashing Human Rights Forum in Hungary. HRE will be held in Budapest, Hungary, from December 9–11, 2025, and is organized by the Council of Europe and OHCHR in partnership with the European Youth Forum and Amnesty International. There are no registration or application costs, therefore participation is completely free. All participants’ travel, visa, and lodging costs will be covered for the three-day event, which will take place from December 8–12, 2025, in the European Youth Centre Budapest or a nearby hotel.

Human rights educators are invited to convene, engage in dialogue, and advance human rights education at the fully funded youth event. 250 people from all across the world, including Europe and beyond, will attend the HRE Forum in 2025. The UN and Council of Europe will formally kick off the event with speeches on the universality of human rights education. Several sessions addressing the contemporary world issues and their solutions will be held during this human rights conference. Finally, a farewell evening will close the forum. The meeting is even more special because it will take place in Budapest on December 10, which is Human Rights Day.

This global forum is the best place to meet people who share your interests, whether you are a volunteer or youth activist supporting human rights education, an education professional from the formal or informal sector, a representative of a public or governmental institution, or a representative of an international, regional, or national organization that promotes human rights education.
