Join RARE 2024-2026 to take action for civic space and the rule of law!

Recharging Advocacy for Rights in Europe (RARE) brings 25 leading European human rights defenders together in a two-year capacity- and alliance-building programme. As a solidarity alliance, RARE is co-organised by partners from academia and civil society: the Hertie School, the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, the Netherlands Helsinki Committee, the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights in Poland and Oxfam Novib.

RARE is an exceptional opportunity for human rights defenders and civic space advocates from across the EU to meet, learn and strategise together. 

Join now in our 2-year programme!

From fall 2024 till summer 2026, 25 leading staff members of civic organisations from all over Europe will take part in 8 high-quality skills and knowledge-building events (camps) as well as collaborate on advocating for protecting  civic space in the EU. Participants will forge connections with and join RARE’s first two cohorts. Resource persons and expert contributors at the 8 camps will be drawn from Hertie School faculty, leading civil society and multilateral organisations as well as think tanks. Our vision is that after 20 months, participants will become better equipped to build stronger organisations and cooperate in a stronger alliance, built on collaboration towards a common agenda on fundamental rights and rule of law in the EU.
