May Digital Defenders Training – Sponsored by Women’s March National
May 9 – 10, 2020 // 12-5 PM Daily
We have experts who will train our Digital Defenders on how to talk to folks online about our democracy, immigrant rights, climate justice, reproductive freedom, and COVID-19, all in an effort to change hearts and minds, debunk dangerous myths, and shift public sentiment.
After the training, you’ll know how to de-escalate otherwise divisive and polarizing conversations. You’ll also have access to a thriving community of peers and coaches with whom you can continue learning, practicing and growing together.

EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament eLearning Course
Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, distance learning has become significantly more important to lecturers and students. As you might be aware, the EU established a European network of independent non-proliferation think tanks in 2010, managed by the six members of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium (EUNPDC). One major project of the consortium is the development and maintenance of this online course. The course is completely free of charge, GDPR compliant and does require registration only for users who want one of several certificates. Our course comprises fifteen learning units that cover a whole range of issues; including arms control theory and WMD, conventional weapons, humanitarian arms control, missiles and emerging technologies. It has been used by 1000+ persons already, and features in syllabi by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) and other international institutions.
