Human Rights Now is hosting an eikaiwa discussion course from 28 Nov. 2019 to 27 Feb. 2020 titled “Digging Deeper into Human Rights!” This course will have two sessions for each topic. This allows more time for discussion, more opportunities to dig into interesting issues, and we can go slower for better understanding.
We look forward to your participation!
■ 2019-2020 Winter English Discussion on “Digging Deeper into Human Rights!” ■
The purpose of this course is to practice your English skills and to learn about and discuss modern topics in human rights through English materials. This course is aimed at people wanting to learn how to express their opinions in English, as well as people interested in the latest issues happening in the human rights world. It is also for anyone wanting to improve their English skills generally.
The facilitator, Christopher Cade Mosley (going by Cade), is a staff member of HRN and a New York State Attorney. He previously worked in the field of environmental law and international human rights law, and he has taught international human rights to Myanmar law students.
