OBI University offers free online courses from UC Berkeley's Othering & Belonging Institute. These courses teach people how to bring communities together and make sure everyone feels like they belong. The classes cover important topics like understanding why some people get left out, how to talk across differences, and how to create fair solutions for everyone.
There are courses about bridging divides between different groups, targeted universalism (helping everyone while addressing specific needs), and building stronger communities. All courses are self-paced with videos, exercises, and real-world examples. You can also join a book club and access nearly 11 hours of expert talks about structural racism.
The program is designed for teachers, parents, students, community organizers, and anyone who wants to help build a more united country. Everything is completely free and available online, so you can learn from your couch at your own speed. The goal is to help people understand how to work together despite differences and create communities where no one is left behind.
