The University of Guyana’s Centre of Excellence for Teaching and Learning (CoETaL), Office of the Vice-Chancellor, is offering its ‘Human Relations Course’ (HRC) FREE of charge to the public to commemorate the International Day of Peace.
The International Day of Peace is observed worldwide on 21 September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, the Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace.
The HRC will be opened on Monday, 23 September, 2024 and is available to interested persons until October 20, 2024. Registration for this course is currently open to the public. Persons are encouraged to register here: https://uog.edu.gy/form/public-hrc-cohort-5
The University said its HRC course is important to building and strengthening better relations amongst individuals and groups. The HRC modules include emotional intelligence, gender relations, gender-based violence, and ethnic diversity, which UG is promoting as one of its sincere contributions to fostering mutual respect, constructive, open dialogue, etiquette, and fair play in the best interest of all Guyanese and Guyana.
Each module contains a pre-test followed by a video, which lasts for 1-2 hours, and a post-test. Persons are expected to check the notification box after completing each activity to ensure they can progress to the next activity. There is no pass-and-fail grade, but students must complete all modules which will take a total of about sixteen hours in order to receive the certificate.
For more information and technical support regarding the HRC, please contact helpdesk.tos-ccses@uog.edu.gy.
