If you are between 18 and 35, passionate about human rights, sustainability, or community development, and looking for an international program you can join from Nigeria — this one is for you.
The Human Rights Lawyers Association (HRLA), in partnership with the Global Human Rights Centre (GHRC), has opened applications for its 2026 Advocacy & Social Action Development Program. Built around the theme "Empowering Changemakers for a Sustainable Future," this is a four-week program designed to develop practical advocacy and leadership skills in emerging leaders across the world.
Yes, Nigerians Can Apply
The program explicitly centres Global South perspectives and fosters inclusive dialogue. There are no nationality restrictions listed. The sessions are held virtually — online, once a week on Fridays from 12:00 to 1:00 PM UK time in June 2026 meaning you can participate fully from anywhere in Nigeria with a stable internet connection.
What Will You Learn?
The program covers human rights advocacy and social justice, sustainable development and climate action, community leadership and civic engagement, policy influence and systems thinking, and understanding legal frameworks that support human rights.
Participants will also engage with professionals across legal, policy, and sustainability sectors, gaining exposure to real-world insights and diverse global perspectives.
Who Is Eligible?
Applicants must be between 18 and 35 years old, and have a clear interest in human rights, sustainability, community development, or advocacy and social change. Candidates from various academic and professional backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
You do not need a law degree or any specific professional background — what matters most is your passion and your commitment to making a difference in your community.
Program Structure at a Glance
The program runs for four weeks in June 2026, with one session per week, each lasting one hour, held on Fridays from 12:00 to 1:00 PM UK time.
