BRIGHT aims to catalyze progressive change for European whistleblowing

Project Goal

The project is underpinned by a multidimensional approach that integrates research, capacity building, advocacy, and policy dialogue.

We begin with a comprehensive research phase to gather robust, reliable, and disaggregated data. A crucial component of our project is fostering active dialogue between civil society and policymakers. This ensures that the legislative changes are not only informed by research but also reflect the collective voice of civil society. BRIGHT seeks to trigger change that extends beyond the status quo and include principles of gender equality and non-discrimination into whistleblowing practices and systems. 

BRIGHT’s ultimate vision is a European Union where whistleblowing systems are effective, accessible, and protective; where organizations embrace transparency and accountability, and where civil society actively participates in promoting these values.
