*[Enwl-eng] New Online Course: How to End War

[ENWL]

                        How can we make the best argument for shifting from 
war to peace? What must we understand and know about the war system if we 
are to dismantle it? How can we become more effective advocates and 
activists for ending particular wars, ending all wars, pursuing disarmament, 
and creating systems that maintain peace? These questions and more will be 
explored in War Abolition 101: How We Create a Peaceful World.

                        War Abolition 101 is a six-week online course 
providing participants an opportunity to learn from, dialogue with, and 
strategize for change with World BEYOND War experts, peer activists, and 
changemakers from around the world. Read what past students have to say 
about the course.

                        The content each week will vary but will include a 
mix of text, video, images, and audio, plus facilitated online interaction 
in a chat room. The weekly modules are not live or scheduled. You take part 
whenever works for you. The course also includes three 1-hour optional zoom 
calls which are designed to facilitate a more interactive and real-time 
learning experience. Each week of the online course will feature a guest 
facilitator to help you explore weekly topics supported by an online chat 
room where you are encouraged to dialogue with peers and facilitators.

                        Facilitators will include:

                          a.. World BEYOND War Board President from the 
United States Leah Bolger

                        Time commitment/expectations: How much time you 
spend and how deeply you engage is up to you. At a minimum, you can expect 
to spend between 1-2 hours a week if you only review the weekly content 
(text and videos). We hope, however, you’ll want to engage in the online 
dialogue with peers and experts. This is where the real richness of the 
learning occurs; where we have the opportunity to explore new ideas, 
strategies, and visions for building a more peaceful world. Depending on 
your level of engagement with the online discussion you can expect to add 
another 1-3 hours a week. Finally, all participants are encouraged to 
complete optional written assignments (required to earn a certificate). This 
is an opportunity to deepen and apply the ideas explored each week to 
practical possibilities. Expect another 2 hours a week if you pursue these 
options.

                        Accessing the course. Prior to the start date, you 
will be sent instructions for how to access the course.

                        Earn a certificate. A certificate will be provided 
to those who complete all assignments. Facilitators will return the 
assignment to the student with feedback. Submissions and feedback can be 
shared with everyone taking the course or kept private between a student and 
the facilitator, at the student’s choice.

                        The cost of the course is the same for someone 
completing all, some, or none of the assignments. The cost is $100 (more if 
you can afford it, less if you cannot).
