Welcome to the homepage of the Amnesty International group Haarlem (004) in the Netherlands. We are the oldest still existing group in the Netherlands. In 2021 we celebrated our 55th anniversary. At the moment we have approximately 70 active members.
Subgroups
Our working group is divided into 4 subgroups, which meet separately to discuss and plan their activities. Every 4 weeks we have a group meeting to co-ordinate all activities and to discuss matters of general interest. Below you will find a short description of each subgroup.
- The School group
- Writing group
- Internet & Social Media
- Fundraising (national door to door action in March)
The school group
This group provides information about Amnesty to primary and secondary schools. The group members regularly write to schools in Haarlem to offer lessons or to organize letter-writing sessions for students.
Writing group
This group writes letters on various human rights issues all over the world. Most letters are in English, so you don't have to speak Dutch. The actions are co-ordinated by the Dutch secretariat of Amnesty in Amsterdam.
Internet & social media
This subgroup maintains this website and our social media like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channel. We use guidelines and templates from the internet group of Amnesty Netherlands.
Agenda
