Dear colleagues,
 
HREA is currently developing distance learning courses via the
Internet. In order to have a better understanding of the needs in the
field we are administering the survey below. We would very much
appreciate it when you take a few minutes to answer the questions
below. Note that you can also fill out the questionnaire on-line at
<http://www.hrea.org/de-survey.html>.
 
Thank you in advance and regards,
 
Frank Elbers

SURVEY OF DISTANCE LEARNING INTEREST
 
Human Rights Education Associates (HREA), an international non-profit
organisation promoting education and training in the human rights
field (http://www.hrea.org), is initiating a number of distance
learning courses via e-mail/Internet. These short courses are intended
for practicing managers and specialists in the human
rights/international development/civil society fields. The courses
currently envisioned would cover organisational management issues and
topics specific to human rights and development.
 
The courses will take place through Internet correspondence, reading
and group assignments, and require approximately 60 hours over three
months. They will be lead by experienced specialists in the field.
These non-accredited courses will initially be offered free of charge.
 
HREA is interested to know about your potential interest in these
distance learning courses. Please take two minutes to complete the
survey below. Your answers do not commit you to enroll in these
courses, but will help us to estimate future demand. Thank you for
your valuable time and input. You can simply reply to this message. Or
forward your response to <[email protected]>. You can also fill out
this questionnaire on-line at: http://www.hrea.org/de-survey.html
