Education and Training

Come and learn about Social Justice and Human Rights!

We invite you to explore our 'key products' that aim to raise the awareness of, and address social justice and human rights issues in local, national and international areas.

These courses and programs are offered throughout the year and are held either at our Institute in Fremantle, or at your premises, depending on what course you are interested in.

Our internationally experienced presenters draw on personal experiences and stories of real human beings to deliver course material. Our high-calibre SJ Team comprises of:

university lecturers;
policy makers;
researchers;
community workers;
consultants;
political activists;
spiritual leaders;
'front-line' social justice workers; and
human rights advocates

If you are Perth-based, we strongly suggest both events, rather than one or the other. The two events are different – in fact, they are deliberately configured to complement each other. Around the world, a sequence of staggered, diverse yet coherent SJ induction has been repeatedly found to produce lasting SJ awareness and commitment to action.
