This innovative one day conference will explore the vital role of the arts, media, government, third sector campaigns and wider civil society in contributing to a fresh vision of human rights - a vision that shows their value and relevance for everyone.
BIHR's experience has shown that the prevailing narrow - and often negative - public discourse about human rights is preventing appropriate, beneficial and widespread use of the Human Rights Act and is a major barrier to people's understanding of human rights.
The conference will capture key debates about human rights and challenge prevailing attitudes. It will influence and engage key decision-makers within the media, public sector and wider civil society organisations to broaden current public understanding of human rights.
