All this week, the team will be in Oslo, Norway, filming behind-the-scenes at the Oslo Freedom Forum. Here’s a description of this exceptional event focused on drawing the world’s attention to human rights:
This is a three-day experience like no other. The Oslo Freedom Forum provides a unique venue for pioneers and entrepreneurs in the realms of advocacy, business, academia, politics, media, and technology to gather and collaborate on how best to make an impact on the world around them.
Forty men and women—advocates for human rights, innovators, public intellectuals, and survivors of tyranny and oppression—present engaging talks to an audience capable of and interested in affecting change.
The Economist magazine, a favorite here at Emergent Order, called the Oslo Freedom Forum “A spectacular human-rights festival… on its way to becoming a human rights equivalent of the Davos economic forum”.
We’re honored to have been invited by Thor Halvorssen, president and founder of The Human Rights Foundation which created and produces the Oslo Freedom Forum, to participate and help raise awareness for such a moving and powerful global event. For more information, visit their website and be sure to note the incredible list of supporters and sponsors.
