Are you interested in sharpening your ability to effectively advocate for digital rights?

ICNL has created a free online course that can help. 

The course, taught by ICNL Senior Legal Advisor Zach Lampell, aims to give a better understanding of human rights standards related to online civic space and to provide tools to advocate for reforms. It features a mix of video, text, and interactive quizzes, and takes about one hour to complete. 

The curriculum highlights real laws that have been passed in different countries, explains their human rights impacts and provides tips for how to effectively advocate for rights-compliant legal frameworks. It also breaks down a real-world example of how civil society strategically applied these lessons to successfully advance digital rights. 

You do not have to be a lawyer or technology expert to enroll. You only need a willingness to learn and an interest in using the knowledge from the course to improve the digital rights environment in your country.
