As a young person, the human rights and civic action work you do is incredibly important, but sometimes under-appreciated. Human Rights Close to Home (HRCH) is an innovative three-year pilot program that aims to promote rights-based civic engagement by youth through human rights education. The Youth Summit is a key part of this program. 

We invite you to propose a session you want to showcase at the HRCH Youth Summit. You can share a human rights related project you've done in a class or school, showcase a club or student organization you lead, plan a hands-on interactive human rights focused workshop, organize a speaking panel, or propose other opportunities for human rights learning. This summit is by students, for students - your voice matters!

Please fill out all the information below, and attach any additional materials you have (such as a presentation) so that we can best serve you and your fellow attendees.

Attached in the link below is a helpful guide to assist you in submitting your session proposal:
