    Human beings must be given the chance to contribute in decision making processes collectively so as they own the implementation or execution of every activity that involve them.

    The course is very crucial for civil society organizations and church leaders to learn. It is something to do with the protection of civil liberties and rights so that every person can talk and voice out their concern regarding basic freedoms and fundamental rights.
