School of Law and Political Science
Overview
To offer a set of practical skills whose value has been proven in recent years through the experiences of our Master’s students during their end-of-program internships: the design and implementation of communication and advocacy campaigns for organizations and companies in the international solidarity sector. These campaigns can serve to:
- Raise public awareness (civic education)
- Facilitate fundraising
- Influence political or economic decision-makers (advocacy)
Among the highlights of this new program:
- Acquisition of practical skills in communication and advocacy within the context of international solidarity organizations.
- Courses taught in English and French, largely led by professionals in the international cooperation sector
- Introduction to the local and regional network of organizations working in international solidarity
