This international project, supported by the EIDHR Program of the EU Delegation in Serbia, is implemented with the Novi Sad Students’ Cultural Center. Based on the positive experience from the Dawn of Human Rights project, another multi-country project dealing with human rights and youth in Europe, ARRA aims for contributing to decrease and ultimately elimination of human rights and freedoms violations, as well as to increasing the degree of inclusion and pluralism in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (APV). It will do so by strengthening the capacities of the duty-bearers on one and the right-bearers on the other side to implement international and national regulations concerning human rights on the territory of the APV.

The project goal is to contribute to active and dynamic education of young people in APV concerning human rights, as well as to raise awareness on the necessity of their protection. The project should also provide for a conducive environment for intercultural meetings, dialogue and learning by implementing activities such as educational and art workshops, didactic labs, online games concerning human rights and campaigns with all-day events including theatrical plays, art exhibitions, a speakers’ corner, etc. in Subotica, Sombor, Kikinda, Sremski Karlovci and Novi Sad.

The role of the Provincial Protector of Citizens – Ombudsman (PPCO) institution is to provide consultancy concerning the human rights related educational parts of the project, to participate in the speakers’ corners events, as well as to support project related information dissemination to relevant stakeholders.
