AI for Human Rights (AI4HR) Peer-learning Programme for Youth-focused Organisations 2027

Deadline: November 4, 2026

Applications are open for the AI for Human Rights (AI4HR) Peer-learning Programme for Youth-focused Organisations 2027. Each participating youth organisation will be matched with an AI expert NGO that over six months will share its experience, offer practical guidance and help you work out how AI could support your priorities.

You decide what to focus on, whether that is documenting violations, analysing information, strengthening advocacy or something else. Most of the work will take place online with webinars and workshops being held approximately once a month. The AI expert will also visit your organisation in person once during spring 2027 for more hands-on support.

In addition, all participating organisations will take part in a workshop in Venice, Italy, on 25-26 February 2027 to exchange experiences, build networks and discuss the opportunities and challenges of using AI for human rights.

Costs

They will provide funding for all expenses connected to flights and accommodation in Venice.

Eligibility

They are looking for youth-focused human rights organisations, meaning organisations that are youth-led or work mainly with and for young people (aged 15 years old and above).

You do not need previous experience with AI as curiosity and an idea of what you want to learn and where to apply matter more.

They particularly welcome applications from organisations in the Global Majority countries.

Application

In your application you need to provide

A short description of your organisation and its work with young people with a link to your website/social media;

What you hope to learn or test with AI in this programme, and why it matters to your work;

The name(s) and CV(s) of 1-2 representatives from the organisation that will be available and ready to commit to a 6-month programme in English, as well as one visit of an AI expert and an in-person visit a workshop in Venice.
