\u201cLearn English by Learning International Human Rights Issues!\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Human Rights Now is organizing a weekly course starting in June to learn English by learning about human rights. We look forward to your participation!<\/p>\n

The goal of the program is not only to develop English ability, but also to learn about international human rights issues in English. Participants can learn and practice their English by learning about international human rights issues, such as the kinds of violations happening around the world and how we can find solutions. Classes will be held in English by a native speaker.<\/p>\n

The lecturer is C. Cade Mosley, a lawyer in the New York jurisdiction and a specialist on environment and human rights. He previously taught human rights in Myanmar (Burma) for HRN.<\/p>\n

Anyone with basic English skills can join. The English is designed to be very simple for non-English speakers to participate.<\/p>\n
