The course aimed at developing knowledge and competencies around Internet Governance and human rights, as well as at motivating the participants to actively contribute to the further evolution and improvement of the Ukrainian multistakeholder dialogue. The participants improved their knowledge on human rights and the internet, balancing/restricting human rights online, legal redress and online remedies etc.  Two Council of Europe experts - Andrii Paziuk (Ukraine) and Joanna Kulesha (Poland) - provided their input on the above-mentioned issues.
