In 2025-2026, We3C supported the Freies Institute für Soziale Interaktion (FIFSI) e.V. in implementing a digital series called Menschenrechte⁴ (Human Rights⁴), four interactive events addressing urgent societal challenges, including racism, authoritarian tendencies, antifeminism, and the erosion of democratic norms. The series targeted professionals in social work and civic education, students, and communities, and politically engaged audiences with lived experiences of discrimination. The four events, conducted in partnership with leading civil society actors, combined interactive webinars, awareness-oriented facilitation, and inclusive digital tools that enabled anonymous participation and secure dialogue, with support from the German State Agency for Civic Education Rhineland-Palatinate (Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Rheinland-Pfalz), which allowed We3C to establish a first presence within the local funding ecosystem in Europe.
