Ariadne portal for European human rights funders

I was in Amsterdam recently at the first meeting of donors setting up Ariadne Netherlands – five Dutch grantmakers who fund in the fields of human rights and social justice. We looked round the table. ‘I expect you all know each other extremely well,’ I said. ‘No’ came the answer. ‘Some of us have never met’ – which in a nutshell makes the case for Ariadne, the European Human Rights Funders Network, a place that funders supporting a wide variety of rights-based and social justice issues can meet, access information and knowledge, and exchange views and experience.
