The festival is the ideal way to involve yourself in the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and warm up for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, both taking place on 10th December.

The main festival venue is Parkteatret in Oslo, but anyone can join in, anywhere in Norway – see how you can Do It Yourself.

Think about what role business has in human rights

Be Inspired by what activists can achieve

Laugh at how rediculous it can all seem when looked at in a different light

Be moved by the conditions people live in and how they respond

Learn about countries and issues not covered in the media

Form your opinions, join the debate and be part of the solution.
