COMMUNITES
of practice
HRFN has hosted strategic working groups for many years. As we implement our new strategy, we have moved into in-depth communities of practice where members can strategize, challenge themselves, and explore innovative approaches.
Communities of Practice are open to all HRFN members. We also welcome the participation of non-members whose work aligns with the thematic area and review applications on a case-by-case basis.
Our current and upcoming communities of practice center on HRFN’s five strategic priority areas.

In addition to these curated spaces, we offer many membership opportunities to engage across a broad range of human rights issues. Members can propose areas of collaboration. Our events and resources also provide a broad range of ways to connect with other members and dig deeper into areas of interest in human rights and resourcing.
