ADILISHA PROJECT
Oxford University Accredited Course: "Action for Change: Advocacy and
Citizen Participation"
FAHAMU, in association with the Department of Continuing Education at
the University of Oxford, England, is offering courses specifically
designed to meet the needs of non-profit human rights and advocacy
organizations in the SADC region. Developed together with interna-
tional and regional experts the last two of the six available courses
will begin during April 2003.
Applications are now open for Action for change: advocacy and citizen
participation. The course's approach to advocacy is geared to improv-
ing the lives and participation of marginalized people and forging
broad alliances for reform across society. The course aims to help
activists analyze, plan, and manage strategies with a clear under-
standing of potential risks. The course builds on experiences in ad-
vocacy, gender, human rights, popular education, and social change.
The material has been developed in the hope that bridges and alli-
ances between peoples will be built for justice, equality and peace.
The course is designed for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and
grass root groups, trainers, activists, organisers, and researchers
working in the field of human rights and advocacy.
The course involves distance learning from interactive materials on
CD-ROM with support from a course tutor via e-mail. In addition,
there will be a workshop in the region, assessed assignments and one
major project.
Those successfully completing the course will be awarded with a Cer-
tificate of Completion from the University of Oxford.
Partial funding is available to 15 successful applicants from the
SADC region, to cover course fees, travel and accommodation to the
workshop. Successful applicants would be expected however, to pay a
non-refundable fee of US$ 250.
The duration of the course is 21 April-14 August 2003. Applications
close on 7 April 2003. Requests for course information and applica-
tion forms may be directed to
