Dear Colleagues,
HREA has launched an introductory e-course on the rights of refugees and
displaced persons. The course takes between 3 and 10 hours to complete
yet is completely self-paced and thus can be spread out over days, weeks
or even months depending upon the situation of the learner. Upon
successful completion of a final test the participant will receive a
certificate of completion. Tuition for this introductory e-course is US$
50. Tuition payments can only be made on-line by credit card (MasterCard
and VISA).
For further information, to watch a demo and to enroll in the course,
