Project description

"What do cities have to do with human rights?" is the Bauhaus.Module devoted to the topic of human rights at the local level. The aim of the seminar was to challenge the idea that human rights are just a matter for the United Nations or other high-level organizations that seem quite far from our daily life. During the seminar, we have been learning that cities and local civil society can also do a lot to ensure that human rights and sustainability goals are promoted and implemented on the municipal agenda.

In the final projects, students explored topics and issues related to human rights in Weimar, and what can be done to improve it. The exhibition shows the main findings, as well as invites visitors to share their ideas on the topic.
