On Sunday, December 8, the Human Rights Festival will take place in the Grote Kerk The Hague: an event in which connection and understanding between different cultures are made through dialogues, music, dance and food. Similarities and differences are celebrated through a freely accessible, participatory program, where stories are told and heard by the people behind them.
Under the slogan 'Let justice flow like water, for both friends and newcomers ', Huis voor de Stad at the Grote Kerk, opens its doors on December 8 for a versatile program, including an opening speech by writer Edzard Mik, music by Kimya Band, Ilmatar Choir and Sanne Rambags and interactive dialogues on the theme ‘Kinship between strangers’, moderated by Dialoog in Den Haag. Curated by Human Security Collective, young participants of the program Move 4 Human Rights. They will share their involvement in human rights themes in the Netherlands and talk about their roles and the impact they have made on these important issues. In addition there will be creative activities, workshops and lectures, as well as various information and food stands.
The full program will be shared leading up to the festival.
The Human Rights Festival is a joint initiative of several organizations in The Hague, including Huis voor de Stad (Grote Kerk The Hague), The Hague Peace Projects, Culture Unlimited, Dialoog in Den Haag, Stichting Vluchtelingenwerk, Human Security Collective, Wereldhuis, Kleurrijk Segbroek, Theater de Vaillant, Justitia et Pax and Één land één samenleving.
