TRAINING WORKSHOP

Rethinking Democracy & Organizing for Change

Our curriculum is coming soon! Until then, this hands-on, interactive training is conducted by Dr. Riki Ott. It is designed to equip teachers and students with knowledge and skills to understand how our democracy was hijacked, the human rights and values that lie at the core of real democracy, and how to take it back through designing and implementing an effective campaign.

Time: one 2-hour block and two 3.5-hour blocks (i.e., an evening lecture and day of training)

Cost: $1,000 plus expenses for travel, lodging (home-stays are good) and meals
