Lunch & Learn Campaigning Workshops

In our first workshop, we answered some frequently asked questions about the Human Rights Act. We know that when campaigning, knowledge is power so this workshop was designed to give people the knowledge about how our Human Rights Act currently works which they could use to challenge plans to change it.

In our second workshop, we told people about the UK Government’s then plans to replace the Human Rights Act with its Rights Removal Bill. Since we delivered this workshop, the Rights Removal Bill has been stopped.

In our third workshop, we focused on the power of real-life stories where people have used our Human Rights Act to achieve positive change. BIHR shared stories of people we’ve worked with and tips for using personal skills and experience to campaign to protect our Human Rights Act, whether as a person who interacts with public services frequently, an advocate or campaigner, a public official, or a policy professional.

In our fourth and final workshop, we focused on real actions everyone can take to protect our Human Rights Act. Members of the BIHR team were joined by campaigners to listen, share campaigning tips, and take action by writing to our MPs.
