Human Rights Now, a Tokyo-based international human rights NGO, will hold a course of easy English discussion sessions called \u201cLet\u2019s learn about Human Rights Issues in English!\u201d like we have held in previous years. It’s designed for people learning English and wanting to practice their English discussion on topics of human rights.<\/p>\n
In addition to an introduction to the basic human rights mechanisms of the United Nations, this year\u2019s course will cover contemporary topics such as hate speech so that both beginners and people who have participated in earlier sessions this year can fully enjoy this year\u2019s edition.<\/p>\n
We are looking forward to your participation!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
*As the number of participants is limited, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The purpose of this project is not only to improve your English skills, but also to learn about international human rights issues through English materials and try to learn and discuss about human rights violations happening right now in the world. This is why, apart from the basic functioning of the United Nations and international human rights law, the course will for example let you learn about the current situation of human rights violations in the countries where they occur, as well as sometimes address those issues from the perspective of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).<\/p>\n
This course is aimed at people wanting to learn how to express their opinions in English, as well as people interested in human rights issues wanting to learn the fundamentals of English in order to deepen their knowledge of the field, but also to anyone wanting to improve their English skills generally.<\/p>\n
Every lesson is taught by a native-speaker.<\/p>\n
One of the teachers, 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.<\/p>\n
Everyone, from students to workers with a basic understanding of English is welcome. We are looking forward to your participation!<\/p>\n
