The "ai academy" is an educational institution of Amnesty International Austria. As we of the ai academy have recourse to the ample national and international competences of Amnesty International, we can provide you with events that suit your interests.

  • does not aim to make a profit
  • ensures easy access to events (pricing, venues adapted to the needs of the disabled and the elderly, etc.)
  • furthers the knowledge about and the awareness of human rights
  • aims at helping to develop important skills needed to take action in human rights affairs
  • takes into account that human rights are universal and indivisible
  • cooperates with national and international experts
  • is commited to the concept of gender mainstreaming

It is our aim to offer events concerning human rights, that are easy to understand, fascinating, and up to date: They usually last from a few hours up to two days. These workshops, training courses, lectures and conferences almost always take place in the evening and on weekends. Vienna and Salzburg have been picked as their permanent locations. Moreover, we also offer events earmarked rent-a-training, that is events that can be booked for other locations in Austria by respective target groups.
