Product information "Social Change: Campaigning, Social Media and Communication"

You will learn to implement your own ideas and ideals in a way that promotes public awareness and thus you will know how to trigger social change yourself. Knowledge of campaign management, the efficient use of social media and knowledge transfer are fundamental to organize and initiate change, especially in times of crisis. You will deal with the challenge of reconciling your own campaigns with good governance and human rights principles. Furthermore, you will critically reflect on the role of social media: to what extent it helps to promote human rights and which impediments exist.
