Participants learn quick tips and actions they can apply as Digital Justice Champions to protect their data online, recognise and deal with fake news, and exercise the right to freedom of expression responsibly. The Big Issues in Small Bytes sessions are “Cookies are never free,” “Don’t take me for a fool,” and “What can I say? My rights, your rights.” Each takes under an hour to complete. Upon completion, learners are recognized as Digital Justice Champions. The e-learning course has been created by the World Association for Christian Communication, with support from the Association of Protestant Churches and Missions in Germany and the World Council of Churches. Just Digital is being offered at the Centre for Communication Rights, WACC’s learning and research platform. Learn more and register: justdigital.ngo. The modest Just Digital course fee supports the development of further digital justice resources. Link to the course in Spanish Link to the course in French See more
