<h2>More About the WDU Initiative</h2><p>The WDUi  is a project of the <a href="https://www.humiliationstudies.org/index.php" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (HumanDHS)</a> network. </p><p>The WDUi wishes to create a mutually beneficial community of educators and learners that supports the personal growth and intellectual development of all involved. We like to think of the experience of the WDU initiative as a gift to the world. The many benefits of this initiative, especially for the educators involved, include:</p><ul><li>It provides a one-of-a-kind platform for global learning in a diverse community of learners and scholars,</li><li>It brings global attention to the important work of educators who put dignity at the center of learning,</li><li>It provides the opportunity for practical training in online learning, dignifying leadership, and facilitating  dialogue across disciplines and national boundaries, and</li><li> It provides the opportunity for mutual support within a community of dignity-minded people from diverse backgrounds and experience.</li></ul>
