for human rights. Learn to defend human rights by understanding the right to
freedom of expression.
About this
course
Freedom of
expression is a human right. Learn from the experts at Amnesty International
how to claim and defend your rights in this human rights course.
This short
course will equip you with the knowledge to understand and claim your right to
freedom of expression, and the skills and confidence to take action to defend
it.
You will be
challenged to think critically and devise effective actions to defend the human
rights of others. You will be able to adapt the human rights of freedom of
expression, association and assembly to real life situations and come
face-to-face with human rights activists on the front line of human rights
defense.
This is
Amnesty International’s first human rights MOOC. Be prepared for active,
fast-paced learning, connecting with course participants across the world to
bridge the gap between theory and practice and turn yourself into an agent of
change.
You will
explore human rights through case studies, including real cases of individuals
at risk. You will discover how actions are developed to defend people against
human rights violations.
Course
facilitators and moderators from across the human rights movement will listen,
guide and interact with participants.
