The "ai academy" is an educational institution of Amnesty International Austria.

• 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

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.
