Title of Activity - Open Access Mooc Course "Human Rights at and from University"

Description of activities, what will the student do during the activity

This course, named Human Rights at and from University, is intended for teachers, students, administrative staff of universities and other higher education institutions.

The aim of the project is to implement the principles of non-discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, racial and ethnic identity and common European values in higher education, to strengthen links between universities in different countries and to create engaging and innovative study content that fights against hate speech and other forms of intolerance that Europe faces today.

The first module: Human Rights at University: What are we talking about?
The second module: Learning to live together: Human Rights and Diversity.
