Rebuilding (and Expanding) Democracy: A Workshop with Global Advocates HYBRID

HYBRID / Rebuilding Democracy enables students to gain certification in nonviolent organizing from the Nobel Peace Prize short-listed Center for Applied Nonviolent Actions and Strategies (CANVAS). Through a series of workshops, students learn how to build a vision statement, develop a strategy, and utilize effective tactics. International democratic advocates will also join the course to share their experiences and provide advice. The course will be co-taught with Srdja Popovic, who led the campaign to depose Serbian authoritarian leader Slobodan Milosevic, and Steve Parks, founder of the Democratic Futures Project.
Students who complete the course will be invited to participate in a global conference with international democratic advocates planned to occur in May 2024 at UVA.
