Amnesty's Global Human Rights Course - Apply Now

Amnesty's Global Human Rights Course: This is Amnesty International’s first human rights MOOC. The course provides active, fast-paced learning, connecting the gap between theory and practice. 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 learn from the experts at Amnesty International who will listen, guide and interact with participants.

The course will challenge you 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.

Consider signing up with a friend or group to take part in optional group activities together. Join the conversation on the Amnesty International Human Rights Education Facebook page.
