Through volunteering, dialogue, and interviews with civil society organisations, students explored human rights, peace, sustainability, solidarity, and active citizenship in practice.

Learning through Volunteering, Dialogue and Reflection

The Howest RUN-EU Volunteering for Human Rights LEX brought together students from across the RUN-EU alliance to learn about human rights through volunteering, intercultural exchange, and engagement with civil society organisations.

During the programme, students volunteered at Broederlijk Delen's Wereldkamp, participated in workshops and discussions, interviewed partner organisations, and conducted additional interviews with NGOs during Feest in 't Park Bruges. They also reflected on their own experiences, learning, and understanding of global solidarity.

The resulting interviews and reflections offer a diverse collection of perspectives on human rights, peace, participation, sustainability, volunteering, and social change.
