University of Pennsylvania and the United Nations
Children’s Fund (UNICEF) are jointly launching a free
massive open online course on social norms and social
change.
The complete course, which consists of one
theoretical and one practical part รก 4 weeks coursework, is
taught entirely in English.
Students who already attended
previous sessions of the course rated the first part of the
course with 4.5 and the second part of the course with 5.0
out of 5.0 possible points.
The first course will teach students how to make the
distinction between social norms and social constructs, like
customs or conventions. These distinctions are crucial for
effective policy interventions aimed to create new, beneficial
norms or eliminate harmful ones.
The course teaches how to measure social norms and the
expectations that support them, and how to decide whether
they cause specific behaviors. The course discusses several
issues that are closely related to human rights such as child
marriage, gender violence and sanitation practices.
The second part of the course will examine social change,
the tools that might be used to enact change and put into
practice everything that has been learnt in the first part of
the course.
While both course parts are available for free, those
who want to receive a Penn-UNICEF certification can
opt-in for a paid verified certificate.
