25th EU-NGO Forum on Human Rights

Welcome to the 25th EU-NGO Forum on Human Rights!

We are delighted to invite you to the 25th EU-NGO Forum on Human Rights, to take place on 4-5 December 2023, in Brussels, Belgium, at the Egmont Palace, Place du Petit-Sablon 8, 1000.

The Forum is organized by the European Commission and the European External Action Service, in partnership with the Human Rights and Democracy Network (HRDN) of Brussels-based NGOs. The theme for the Forum this year will be “Youth as actors of change for human rights”. It will be an opportunity to discuss the work of young human rights defenders, the threats and challenges they face around the world, and to identify ways to engage meaningfully in shaping their future and the future of human rights.

The two-day event will bring together around 200 participants, including representatives from non-governmental organisations, young human rights defenders, international organisations, members of youth associations, EU Member States, and European institutions. It will conclude with action-oriented suggestions and recommendations, emphasising practical ways for the EU, Member States, civil society, and youth to adapt and improve policies and practices.
