The project „Let us never take our human rights for granted - the role of the European Parliament in reinforcing human rights”, co-financed by the European Parliament, is addressed to secondary school students from Wrocław (over 17,000 participants). It focuses on the role and activity of the European Parliament – the only directly-elected institution of the European Union – especially in the field of human rights protection. The main idea is not only to educate but also to engage the youth in creative activity and give them a chance to express their views on important issues. In this regard best photo essay competition and public speaking competition have been run in schools on the topic of human rights. The topic also encompasses the issue of cultural rights as Wrocław, the European Capital of Culture 2016, stresses the importance of the right to culture and the need for taking action against exclusion from culture. Five best speakers presented their speeches in front of an audience of 2,000 during the Final Event and thirty best photo essays will be exhibited outdoor for 6 weeks in various locations in the city centre. The winners of the competitions will go on a trip to Brussels to visit the EU institutions.
