AI for Human Rights (AI4HR) Peer-Learning Programme for Youth-Focused Organisations

Global Campus of Human Rights

This programme pairs youth-focused human rights organisations with NGOs that already use AI in their work, so they can learn from each other. Participants shape their learning around their own needs, such as documenting rights violations or strengthening advocacy. It runs from January to early July 2027 and is part of a wider 2024 to 2029 research effort to build an AI for Human Rights Toolkit. If your organisation works with young people and is curious about AI, this is a low-barrier way in, since no AI experience is needed.

Who can apply:

• Human rights organisations that are youth-led, or that mainly serve young people aged 15 and above
• Organisations with no prior AI experience (a clear learning goal and genuine curiosity matter most)
• Organisations from Global Majority countries, who are especially encouraged to apply
• Organisations that can commit 1 to 2 representatives to both the online and in-person parts

What you get:

• Guidance from NGOs experienced in using AI
• Online workshops
• A two-day workshop in Venice, with participation costs covered, including travel and accommodation
• A learning path tailored to your organisation’s needs
• Any additional funding or stipend: Not stated

How to apply:

Fill in the online application form before the deadline. Describe your organisation and its work with young people, and include links to your website or social media. Set out what you want to learn from the programme and how it connects to your work. Provide the names and CVs of 1 to 2 people who will take part.

Tip: Be specific about your learning goal. “Using AI to organise and verify evidence of violations” is more convincing than a general interest in AI.
