ABOUT EVENT

The European Economic and Social Committee is organising a hybrid conference on communicating fundamental rights and the rule of law on 18 July, 10:00 – 13:00 CEST .

In recent years, the EU’s founding values have been increasingly challenged, making the consensus on which they are based seem more fragile than ever.

While the EU has addressed these threats by becoming more active in defence of democracy, fundamental rights and the rule of law, discourses have also risen that portray such action as political battles based on unclear or relative criteria.

Participants will discuss how to address this phenomenon, and more generally how to better communicate fundamental rights and the rule of law to the whole population.

ENNHRI is represented on one of the panels by Dr Simona Drenik Bavdek, Assistant Head of the Center for Human Rights, Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia.

Register online until Thursday 14 July at 12:00 CEST under this link.
