Iris-Stefania Petcu, President of the Undergraduate Student Government of Constructor University in Bremen, represented the university as Youth Delegate at the 17th International Human Rights Summit. The summit was held at United Nations Headquarters in New York City from July 6th to 8th, 2023. Originally from Romania, she also represented her home country at the event.
 
“I was looking to discuss and get vital feedback from experts, to refine my trajectory in my domain of action - human rights – and to be able to implement certain policies at the university,” Iris explained her purpose for taking part in the summit. At the Summit, she also gave a speech on human rights in education. “The human rights sector is the source to all my current activities, interests, and work regarding research, business, and diplomacy”, Iris said.
 
This year’s Summit, marking the 75th anniversary of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Right, (UDHR), was themed IMAGINE: EQUALITY. DIGNITY. UNITY – Youth Making it a Reality. More than 400 officials, ambassadors and representatives of UN permanent missions, representatives of NGOs, educators, human rights advocates and members of civil society attended.
