UPSKILL YOUR ACTIVISM WITH AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
Whether you are new to Canadian 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. Welcome to the Amnesty International Online Learning Centre!
These bite-sized video courses were created for busy activists. In 15 minutes or less, you can 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 ensuring you look after yourself and your fellow activists!
