The HRYO - Human Rights Youth Organization is non-profit, non-governmental organisation founded in Palermo in 2009 with the aim to strengthen the Human Rights at a local and global level. Vision: The Human Rights Youth Organization believes in a world gover- ned by peace and mutual understanding. We see education as an essential aspect towards creating a reality that promotes and protects human dignity, all aspects of equality and sustainability. As an organization we see the importance in supporting local action and developing the potential of a single human being, for small changes lead to big process. Mission: Our mission is to facilitate, through various means, the fulfilment of Human Rights and establish an international network of or- ganisations and individuals who are actively contributing to their local context. We seek to actively work towards a culture of peace by promoting and taking part in non-violent action towards the liberation from oppression in any form. While taking action we promote, encou- rage and celebrate the value of diversity of people in society. 16
