Write for Rights - Amnesty International
All over the world, people pick up their pens for those who are unjustly imprisoned, threatened, or discriminated against. That’s why on December 10th, we’ll transform the ITA Bookshop into a warm, inspiring space to join the writing movement!
Come by, grab a pen, and start writing. Stationery, cards, and sample letters will be ready — all you need to add are your words. Every letter brings hope and urges those in power to make a change.
Alongside the writing, we’ll host inspiring intermezzos on human rights, art, and resistance — details coming soon!

So join us! Between 18:00 and 21:00, you're welcome in the Bookshop (free walk-in and out).
At 18:20, 19:20, and 20:20, there will be short presentations and performances. Want to know more about the people we’re writing for? Visit: Write for Rights - Amnesty International.
