Maastricht

Maastricht is a relaxed city without borders, where everyone can feel at home. Our city is a welcoming, safe haven for human rights defenders from all over the world, a place where they can unwind for a couple of months. The Shelter City programme corresponds with the ideals of our city and, twice a year, offers a platform for human rights defenders and citizens of Maastricht to enter into dialogue with each other, learn from each other, and combine their power to create a better world together. Because of this focus on the promotion of peace and solidarity, Shelter City also aligns with Maastricht’s ambition to contribute to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals.
