The ICNC online course was incredibly useful to me as an activist educator. The diversity of participants and moderators ensured the context was placed in real life contexts, and I learned about other peoples struggles in a way that was humbling and inspiring.

The ICNC online course is a great platform to connect with activists from all over the world, who are passionate about alleviating the suffering of the repressed socially and politically. It empowers practitioners as well as academics to use every nonviolent method that exists to better their lives and those they care about.

This was exactly the kind of course I was expecting to complete my quest of more diversified and deeper knowledge, opinions, thoughts, and good practices on civil resistance. I have definitely gained new approaches to strengthen my human rights struggle on the ground.
