Community work

Transforming Communities

We support people and communities to put rights into action. What that looks like depends on the individual or group we’re working with but could include:

linking social justice issues and public body interactions to human rights law
tailored human rights learning and development
co-produced and co-delivered workshops or resources
practice leads programmes to create sustainable change

How can I work with BIHR?

We are currently working with funding support from The Baring Foundation on a three-year Community Programme. The programme has several phases and offers the chance to work with us on awareness-raising workshops and community support solutions for your community group. Applications are now open to work with us to co-design a human rights solution.
