Kristof Bender participated in a workshop of Recharging Advocacy for Rights in Europe (RARE), a joint initiative of the Hertie School, the Hungarian Helskinki Committee and the Netherlands Helsinki Committee. The initiative connects 26 leading European human rights defenders in a two-years capacity- and alliance-building programme. 

Kristof was invited to discuss "How Do Austrian NGOs Advocate Towards the European Union?" RARE participants rotated in small groups between six tables with guests from different NGOs and human rights groups, including besides ESI also Amnesty International Austria, Noyb and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights.
