TC Human Rights Odyssey
We had an opportunity to participate in an Erazmus+ training course The Human Rights Odyssey. It took place from May 25th to 29th 2026 in Kralovac, Croatia. The project was dedicated to youth empowerment through non-formal education and innovative methods to tackle modern challenges like digital fatigue and social exclusion. The focus of the training was designed to explore how we protect human dignity in this new reality. The training aimed to analyze the state of human rights in the contemporary world, with a specific focus on the Fourth Generation of Rights.
The first day was dedicated to getting to know each other and building a safe space to feel free to make mistakes and not feel judged. During our time there we explored new topics through various learning and revision methods. Each activity that we did led us towards creating our own Karlovac declaration on the fourth generation of human rights.
Each day consisted of structured sessions, led discussions, project presentations and group revisions. Every session and topic was done in different learning methods. These exercises taught us to work in teams, choose information from the internet wisely, to look at things from another perspective and express our opinions, all while learning more about the designated topic.
Karlovac is small but has beautiful architecture. The amount of greenery amazed me at first glance. Even though it wasn’t a big city, all of the participants had evening plans after the program. I feel like we have explored every corner of this city that we could have, and we were not disappointed.
Participating in this training course was a new but an unforgettable experience for me. I have gained knowledge on a topic I was interested in. I got to travel and explore another country while getting to know inspiring people and their stories. This project made me feel like learning is an opportunity and a part of day to day life, not an obligation.
