The Human Rights Academy is a non-profit organization based in Oslo that works to increase respect for human rights both nationally and internationally. The organization offers a number of courses and lectures that focus on human rights, with particular emphasis on gender and sexuality diversity. In addition, they arrange workshops for employees of the refugee agency, which contributes to raising competence in human rights issues.
With 16 years of experience in human rights education, the Human Rights Academy also develops teaching materials and manuals for various target groups. One of their projects, "Freedom, yes!", targets asylum seekers and refugees, and aims to strengthen their rights and opportunities. The organization actively participates in international networks, such as the DARE Network, and also has an exhibition called "The New Planet" that promotes awareness of human rights.
