Dear colleagues,

Stellenbosch University, in association with the Namibia Media Trust, is delighted to invite you, your colleagues and your  students to register for an online course on Freedom of Expression and African Media and Digital Policy. For those interested in these issues within a Global South context, this course offers  a real value-add to your teaching and learning. We're inviting journalists, parliamentarians and civil society as well, so this is a great chance to interact with them - on a continent-wide basis. 

The commitment is about 3-5 hours a week, self-paced.  There are two courses in the programme - each one taking four weeks. It's free, and for those who want a prestigious professional certificate from the University the cost is an affordable $99 dollars for each part.
What you'll get from taking part is:

* Expert knowledge about disinformation and other current issues in media and digital freedom in Africa
* Insight into strategies to address the challenges to media viability in the age of AI
* Understanding - through case studies - of how people have successfully made change.
