Recent global crises (financial, environmental, socio-political and medical) have propelled anxiety and reinforced inequalities, negatively affecting economic growth and social development. However, it is precisely in times of crisis that human rights become more important and transformative.
The Global Campus of Human Rights MOOC on Socio-Economic Justice through Human Rights explores current developments in implementing economic and social rights and their role in redressing unjust distribution of resources and powers. It looks at legal frameworks and current political, social and economic challenges to better understand their links with a rights-based approach to socio-economic justice. Through regional examples and case studies, it provides a global overview of difficulties and obstacles but also possible alternatives and solutions.
The course runs over 4 weeks and is organised in 2 modules:
Module 1 introduces a rights-based approach to socio-economic justice, with a focus on legal, political and social perspectives on rights, justice and equality.
Module 2 is dedicated to Socio-Economic Justice through human rights in practice and aims to suggest ways forward by looking at specific themes and rights such as poverty, gender, education, socio-economic justice for children.
Designed by the Global Campus E-Learning Department in cooperation with renowned lecturers and experts, the MOOC offers a wealth of specialised knowledge and examples, enabling participants to benefit from rich and varied competences.
How to register:
The MOOC is free and open to participants from all over the world who are actively interested and engaged in socio-economic justice and wish to deepen their knowledge about the theory and practice of applying a rights-based approach to analysis, assessment, redress and change in this area.
