About: The Confident Conversations E-learning Course

This is a free e-learning module that contains a unit taken from our longer course “The Basics: A Human Rights and Equalities First Approach.”

It is an interactive course aimed supporting you to feel more confident having conversations about the sorts of differences of opinion that can come up when discussing human rights and equalities.

We estimate that this course takes around 20 minutes to complete, depending on the time spent completing the interactive elements.
