The HRE Networks is excited to introduce the Human Rights Education (HRE) Network Advisory Group, a new collective of HRE practitioners from across Amnesty International who will be working together to strengthen our global HRE network and support HRE as a core capacity in our movement. This group brings together diverse experiences, local knowledge, and creative methodologies to help shape the future of HRE across the organisation. Their role is to support the Global HRE Network by offering ideas, insights, and practical suggestions that reflect the richness of our global community. After meeting online for the first time in July, HRE’s newly formed Human Rights Education (HRE) Network Advisory Group met in Nairobi, Kenya, for a three-day workshop in late September. This gathering was not just about meeting face-to-face. It was a strategic moment to:
- Build relationships in a face-to-face environment.
- Share experiences of HRE implementation across all regions.
- Define the role of the Advisory Group moving forward.
- Plan key actions to help strengthen connections and capacity across the HRE Network.
For many of the attendees, this amazing opportunity meant a lot of travel (Alonso from Chile won ‘Most Hours/Days in Transit!’), for others it also meant enormous amounts of preparation, both in the months leading up to the event and on the ground in the Nairobi office itself…but it was worth it! Numerous deep-dive sessions were run with and by participants to explore the untapped potential of our HRE Network and how best to support its ongoing evolution.
