The Human Rights Education Caravan emerges as a concrete action from the convergence of networks, movements, entities, and all people who dedicate themselves to the struggle for the affirmation of human rights as a central element of society and the Brazilian State.

The project originated at the World Forum on Human Rights (FMDH), with the objective of making the political debate and the culture of broad dialogues permanent, using popular education as a tool, strengthening and encouraging cultural circles and the participation of citizens with the perspective of transforming the political reality of their territories to promote a new social model that has human dignity and democracy as founding principles of the life of all people.

The Caravan traveled through the states of Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pará, Acre, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Bahia, Goiás, Rondônia, Amapá, Alagoas, Roraima, and Maranhão with diverse and self-managed actions, fostering initiatives incorporated during its journey.
