"The work of civil society is like the immune system of our democracy", says our Executive Director. Recharging Advocacy for Rights in Europe (RARE) is a civil society leadership program from different fields and the first of it’s kind in the EU.

----
The Recharging Advocacy for Rights in Europe (RARE) project is a joint project of the Hertie School and the Netherlands and Hungarian Helsinki Committees launched in late 2020. RARE aims to bring solidarity and cooperation into practice. Participants are equipped with the skills, resources and the European network their NGOs need to counteract increasingly challenging national operating contexts. Also, RARE offers a platform for networking, mutual learning and collaboration on collective European projects.
