Theme: “My Identity – where is Home”  

The 2024 theme, invites deep reflection on respect, compassion, and understanding of who we are, where we come from, and how our experiences shape our identity. This will be the central focus of our panel discussions, exploring the intersections of personal, cultural, and national identities within the broader context of human rights. Our panel will examine how experience shapes identity, influences our perception of human rights, and drives our responses to global challenges.
