Every year, champions of human rights bring their stories to the Oslo Freedom Forum stage to shed light on the struggle for freedom around the world.
Our theme for the 2022 Oslo Freedom Forum, CHAMPION OF CHANGE, celebrates both activists, who are themselves champions, and their causes. This theme represents a strong, scalable call to action, inviting you to act and advocate on behalf of activists and in support of human rights. At the Oslo Freedom Forum, we realize that everyone has the potential to effect change — either as a champion on an individual level, or as part of a larger movement.
Join us at the 2022 Oslo Freedom Forum, May 23-25 in Oslo, Norway for a unique experience that will remain with you for years to come. At the Oslo Konserthus, you’ll listen to talks that will expose you to an unparalleled breadth of human rights issues, pro-democracy causes, and inspiring stories of nobility and triumph against monumental odds.
