Beyond the Bars 2020 Conference Request for Proposals
Freedom Plans: Strategies for Challenging a Carceral Society
March 5-8, 2020
Columbia University’s Center for Justice, the Beyond the Bars staff and the Beyond the Bars Fellows invite you or your organization to submit a workshop proposal for 2020 Beyond the Bars Conference.
Sunday March 8th, 2020, the fourth day of the Beyond the Bars conference will feature a collection of organizing workshops. These sessions are designed to facilitate learning about relevant issues, skill-sharing, and the development of tools for advocacy and organizing to actively engage in justice work. In addition to teaching new tools for advocacy and organizing, the intention is that workshops will connect participants to opportunities for continued engagement beyond the conference, in particular in grassroots campaigns. We are particularly committed to highlighting the voices and organizing led by: people of color, women, queer and transgender people, non-binary and gender non-conforming people, young people, and people directly impacted by incarceration and the criminal legal system.

Global Youth Connect's (GYC) eighth Human Rights and Peacebuilding Delegation in Colombia
June 14-26, 2020
Early admission: February 1, 2020
Application deadline: March 15, 2020
Following a historic peace agreement, Colombia is once again in the midst of political change as Colombians across the country recently took to the streets to protest a conservative government opposed to the implementation of the FARC peace process. GYC delegates will discuss with human rights activists and government officials in the country what challenges they face while earning 4 college credits from Warren Wilson College.
GYC's delegation provides unique access to Colombia's human rights context through community engagement and specialized site visits. The delegation will explore the work currently being done by Colombian organizations, professionals, and students to promote the protection of the rights to freedom, security, equality before the law, education, family, and property. From meetings with major NGOs in the capital city of Bogota to projects with underserved communities of Medellin, this delegation offers a unique opportunity to experience human rights work in action.
