Songs For Rights (INA gGmbh) (Youth NGO)

Songs for Rights uses music as a tool to educate, empower and invite people around the world into the movement to protect and advance Human Rights.

We give young people and youth workers an opportunity to learn about Human Rights through music, express their views on important issues, and become active change makers by producing songs and music videos, reaching out to peers, community stakeholders and policymakers.

Since 2019, Songs for Rights became a YEPP EUROPE initiative at the Institute for Community Education/International Academy Berlin (INA gGmbH) and has been further developed within the framework of YEPP EUROPE’s work towards youth and community empowerment. Collaborations have also been carried out with human and children’s rights experts, such as Right Now and Articolo 12, and through further pilot projects in Germany and Italy.
