We invite human rights organizations, initiatives and activists working in the regions to the event “Human Rights Fair” in Tbilisi.
About the Fair
Human Rights Fair was founded in 2018 by Human Rights House. The main goal of the fair is to increase awareness of human rights defenders working outside the capital, in other cities and villages of Georgia, and to offer them a networking platform.
According to the format of the event, the participating organizations and initiatives will be selected in advance for the fair and they will be presented at tables individually arranged for them, with their communication or information materials, photos, and banners.
The Fair is a place where human rights organizations, initiatives and activists from the regions of Georgia establish new contacts for future and joint cooperation, share information about their activities with the wider community, etc.
The 2023 Fair will be held in Tbilisi, and we invite human rights organizations (registered in the regions of Georgia) and initiatives, as well as individual activists, working outside Tbilisi, in different cities and villages of Georgia.
The presentation of the main findings of the thematic report on the situation of human rights defenders in the regions of Georgia and a panel discussion will also take place at the event.
There are three ways to participate in the Fair:
1. Present your organization or initiative at an individual “stand” – participating organizations will be provided with an individual table/stand to present information documents, banners and visual material. For that, you can register here. Deadline: November 15
2. Participate as an individual human rights defender/activist. For that, fill out this form. Deadline: November 15
3. Attend fair. This form of participation is open to any interested person. For that, you can register here. Deadline: November 15
