The 2025 cycle of alumni-led cross-regional projects has officially kicked off. 14 initiatives reflect the diversity and thematic breadth of alumni engagement across regions.

Selected 2025–26 projects address issues including:

Climate justice, children’s rights, business and human rights, gender equality, extractive industries, migration, democratic participation, unpaid care work, digital education and human rights defenders’ protection — with collaborations spanning Africa, Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Arab region, South East Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

We congratulate all selected teams and look forward to sharing their progress and outputs across the network. We will share with you more information about the activities in due course.

Alumni continue to contribute to the GC Human Rights Preparedness Blog, addressing emerging human rights challenges across regions and disciplines. These writings reflect alumni perspectives on democracy, justice, security, climate, technology and civic space.

From 9 to 11 December 2025, a small team of GC alumni joined more than 250 participants in Budapest for the Forum on Human Rights Education — Unleashing Human Rights, organised by the Council of Europe and OHCHR with the European Youth Forum, Amnesty International, and the support of the Global Campus. Representing GC hubs across Brazil, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Uzbekistan, South Africa, Palestine and Cameroon, the alumni group contributed diverse regional perspectives to the discussions.
