Dignispace is an innovative and evidence informed digital resource underpinned by the PANEL principles - Participation, Accountability, Non Discrimination, Empowerment and Legality] principles of the Scottish Human Rights Framework [Scottish Human Rights Commission, 2017]. Dignispace was co-produced with students through interdisciplinary research. It is the first such resource on Dignity education using a Human Rights lens to interrogate the abstract nature of Dignity. DigniSpace provides an online space and structure at three levels with focused learning activities for each of the PANEL principles using reflective learning as individuals or in a group. The project was funded by the Sir Halley Stewart Trust.
Learners can apply for Financial Aid directly with Coursera to assist with the cost of accessing the full course and gaining a certificate for successfully completing the course.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
