Join us on the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to learn more, collaborate, connect and empower the next generation of activists and leaders.
THE PROGRAM
Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th November
Leadership Forum
The HDF Leadership Forum will feature two days of inspiration, education, and hands-on challenges that will transform budding changemakers into tomorrow’s leaders of advocacy and positive change. Leaders representing communities across Hong Kong, will engage in intimate, tribal discussions on the advancement of human rights and dignity.
Inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the forum will examine the current status and realisation of rights and dignity in today’s world by facilitating dialogue focused on individual articles of the UDHR. 2018 marks an even more special occasion, as the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!
Additionally, the forum will also include a focus on:
— Genocide in history and the modern day
— Colonisation and decolonisation
— Climate refugees and justice
— Indigenous rights and minorities
— Youth issues
