Human Rights and Solidarity Strategy

 

Adopted at the European Students' Union Board Meeting 68 in Yerevan, the strategy outlines priorities within the broader area perpetuating human rights. With this strategy, ESU hopes to consolidate the current work that has been centred around the Students' Rights Charter of 2008. Much of this work has been realised through solidarity statements and partnerships with European institutions such as the Council of Europe and the European Union. Some priorities are directly action-orientated, while others are more closely related to ESU's way of conducting work.
