Advocacy

Advocacy is the act of publicly supporting or recommending a particular cause or policy. Coursera's advocacy catalogue equips you with the skills to effectively champion for causes you believe in, by influencing public opinion and policy decisions. You'll learn the principles of communication, negotiation, lobbying, and public speaking. You'll also gain knowledge on how to build strategic relationships, manage campaigns, use social media for advocacy, and understand legal and ethical issues related to advocacy. These skills are indispensable for those in roles like social workers, public relations officers, lawyers, and individuals involved in activism or lobbying.
