Background
The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) provides independent, evidence-based advice to policymakers, to help ensure the full respect for fundamental rights across the EU, for everyone. To this end, the Agency collects and analyses information and data on a range of fundamental rights issues, provides assistance and expertise to EU institutions and Member States, raises rights awareness, communicates its findings, and strengthens cooperation and ties between fundamental rights actors.
Communications and Awareness Raising Unit
The Communications and Awareness Raising Unit is responsible for shaping and promoting narratives on fundamental rights across Europe. Guided by FRA’s Communications Strategy 2023–2028, it designs and delivers impactful communication activities that highlight both the core values of fundamental rights and their practical relevance in people’s lives. The unit ensures that FRA’s work reaches and resonates with diverse audiences – from EU and Member State policymakers to civil society organisations, human rights practitioners, the media and the wider public – through compelling online and print content and outreach activities.
The unit is organised in two sectors:
- Media and Public Relations: This sector manages FRA’s multi-channel communication and outreach, including media relations, and the production of audiovisual content for all FRA communication platforms.
- Web and Publishing: This sector develops, produces and disseminates FRA’s multi-lingual outputs online and in print, including the annual Fundamental Rights Report. It also maintains FRA’s corporate website fra.europa.eu.
