Start your weekend with some activism! We look back on 5 years of World-Talks with an overview of the most notable interviews with Human Rights defenders from all over the world. We will watch their stories and discuss them with human rights experts and the audience. For the past 5 years WorldTalks has given a voice to human rights defenders and activists from around the world. Our online platform collects interviews with activists about their challenges, ambitions and dreams. We asked Patrick Dering, who helped set up and manage WorldTalks for 5 years, to curate a selection of the most notable interviews.
