World Learning’s SIT Graduate Institute offered a section of its Master’s level 3-credit Policy Advocacy course in an intensive workshop and seminar format in Washington DC from January 9 -29, 2010. Fieldwork assignments included visits to international development organizations and government institutions in the area. The course modules are designed to foster individual and group learning on Deliberative Democracy, Public Policy Making, Citizen Advocacy, Governance Structures and Reforms, Social Justice and Civil Society/Community Network Mobilization.
Participants learned about global, national, and grassroots advocacy campaigns to promote effective policy-making and participatory global, national and local governance.

The course learning combined academic and operational analyses, policy advocacy and program strategies, research tools, case studies, and participation in "live" advocacy campaigns.
