Whether you are new to human rights activism, or looking for new ideas to revitalize your local campaign actions or community organizing, this is your invitation to upskill your activism through the Amnesty International Online Learning Centre!
These bite-size video courses were created for busy activists. In 15 minutes or less, learn how to write effective letters, organize campaigns and community events with others, get creative with your activism, and prepare to meet with your member of parliament and other key decision-makers.
Very importantly, learn how to document your activism so that more people will see what you’ve done and be informed and inspired to become human rights activists themselves. Learn how to do all this, while making sure you are looking after yourself and your fellow activists!
Enjoy these ad-free videos courses and download resource pages for more information and links to additional activism and human rights education resources. The Online Learning Centre welcomes your feedback and ideas for additional video courses and other resources. Be sure to download the resource page for each course.
