- Critical and implicational thinking;
- Holistic advocacy and project planning;
- Legal analysis and writing;
- Advocacy through intercession;
- National, international, and human rights law including law-making;
- United Nations advocacy;
- Political and governmental systems; and
- Initiating grassroots movements.
FIELD ASSIGNMENT
The three-month field assignment option allows students to put into action the advocacy project that the student created during the lecture phase with the possibility of opening the door for a long-term project.
“The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene” Isaiah 59:16
