Ursula: /* Global Gathering Overview */

__NOTOC__
[[File:GG2025.png|frameless|413x413px|right]]
==Welcome to the 2025 Global Gathering!==
'''When:''' September 8 - 10, 2025

'''Where:''' Estoril, Portugal

'''Deadline to apply:''' June 20, 2025

{| class="wikitable" style="background-color:#5BE6EF;"
|'''<big>[https://gathering.digitalrights.community Apply to the Global Gathering]</big>'''
|}

Join us for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and networking around the most urgent technology-related challenges affecting human rights, civil society, and journalists at local, regional, and global levels.

With participants representing '''144+ countries and 1,000 organizations and networks,''' the gathering’s humane design, unique outdoor venue in idyllic Estoril, and robust security and safety protocols, provides a rejuvenating environment to foster solidarity across disciplines and regions.
In response to current funding freezes, we are providing organizations and networks with more space to host their own public and private events. Please email us for more info: gather@digitalrights.community Also, we encourage everyone interested in attending to apply, as we are being flexible with the event’s size to ensure everyone has a safe and secure space to connect with others.

== Global Gathering Platform ==
[[File:Global Gathering Platform Ticket Icon Black 2025.png|right|frameless|143x143px]]

== Global Gathering Overview ==
This year, we are going back to our roots, embracing a self-organized model to ensure conversations are driven by participants’ most pressing needs and challenges. Programming activities include:

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Circles.png|left|frameless|106x106px]]'''Meetups & Circles'''
While Team CommUNITY will be coordinating a select number of topical and regional networking meetups, participants will be provided with tools to coordinate self-organized “Circles” or collaborative discussions. Note: Instructions will be shared after participants have been verified and accepted.
'''Applications for Circles will open in August, stay tuned!''' 

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Villages.png|frameless|106x106px|left]]
----'''Villages and Private Events'''

Partners will be provided with space to host their own public and/or private events via more robust Village areas. If you are interested in this option, please reach out to us as soon as possible by emailing gather@digitalrights.community. Additionally, we will be working with trusted community nodes to coordinate regional villages, where participants can host more locally-focused discussions.
 

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Booths.png|frameless|106x106px|left]]
----'''Booths'''

Projects will have the opportunity to host a booth in one of the numerous permanent structures available at the venue. Booths are great for showcasing work, demoing a tool, running a skillshare, or having one-to-one conversations with participants. '''Submit your Booth proposals by July 31:''' https://gathering.digitalrights.community/

'''Review the [[2025 Global Gathering Programming]] to learn more about these formats!'''

== Partners and Satellite Events ==

==Planning Your Trip & Navigating Estoril==
[[File:Black_Blue_2025_GG_Icon_Plan_your_trip.png|left|frameless|88x88px]]
'''[[Planning Your Trip|<big>Planning Your Trip</big>]]''' Learn about recommended hotels in the area, how you can get to Estoril from the airport, as well as hospitals, pharmacies and other healthcare information.
[[File:Black 2025 GG Icon Navigating Estoril.png|left|frameless|88x88px]]
 
'''[[Navigating Estoril|<big>Navigating Estoril</big>]]''' We have compiled a list of day trips you can take from Estoril, a list of ATMs and Banks near the venue, general information about public transportation, and some Portuguese language tips, including how to order coffee!
 
 

==Visa and Equity Fund Support==
[[File:2025 Black Visa and Equity Fund Support.png|right|frameless|143x143px]]
<big>'''Visa Support'''</big> 
The '''[[Visa and Equity Fund Support|Visa Support]]''' page has all the information you need regarding:

* Obtaining a Schengen visa for Portugal
* Applying for ETIAS Travel Authorization
* Ongoing support TCU can offer during your visa process

<big>'''Equity Fund Support'''</big> 
Due to the ongoing impact of the foreign aid freeze, Team CommUNITY will not have an open application process for travel support. This is to ensure that critical visa, security, and well-being support remain available for 2025 event attendees. We remain committed to helping all participants explore alternative funding options.

==Community, Security & Health Policies==

'''Stay tuned! All of our community and security policies will be updated for 2025.'''

Join us for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and networking around the most urgent technology-related challenges affecting human rights, civil society, and journalists at local, regional, and global levels.

With participants representing '''144+ countries and 1,000 organizations and networks,''' the gathering’s humane design, unique outdoor venue in idyllic Estoril, and robust security and safety protocols, provides a rejuvenating environment to foster solidarity across disciplines and regions.
In response to current funding freezes, we are providing organizations and networks with more space to host their own public and private events. Please email us for more info: gather@digitalrights.community Also, we encourage everyone interested in attending to apply, as we are being flexible with the event’s size to ensure everyone has a safe and secure space to connect with others.

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Circles.png|left|frameless|106x106px]]'''Meetups & Circles'''
While Team CommUNITY will be coordinating a select number of topical and regional networking meetups, participants will be provided with tools to coordinate self-organized “Circles” or collaborative discussions. Note: Instructions will be shared after participants have been verified and accepted.
'''Applications for Circles will open in August — stay tuned!''' 

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Villages.png|frameless|106x106px|left]]
----'''Villages and Private Events'''

Partners will be provided with space to host their own public and/or private events via more robust Village areas. If you are interested in this option, please reach out to us as soon as possible by emailing gather@digitalrights.community. Additionally, we will be working with trusted community nodes to coordinate regional villages, where participants can host more locally-focused discussions.
 

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Booths.png|frameless|106x106px|left]]
----'''Booths'''

Projects will have the opportunity to host a booth in one of the numerous permanent structures available at the venue. Booths are great for showcasing work, demoing a tool, running a skillshare, or having one-to-one conversations with participants. '''Submit your Booth proposals by July 31:''' https://gathering.digitalrights.community/

'''Review the [[2025 Global Gathering Programming]] to learn more about these formats!'''

==Visa and Equity Fund Support==
[[File:2025 Black Visa and Equity Fund Support.png|right|frameless|143x143px]]
<big>'''Visa Support'''</big> 
The '''[[Visa and Equity Fund Support|Visa Support]]''' page has all the information you need regarding:

* Obtaining a Schengen visa for Portugal
* Applying for ETIAS Travel Authorization
* Ongoing support TCU can offer during your visa process

<big>'''Equity Fund Support'''</big> 
Due to the ongoing impact of the foreign aid freeze, Team CommUNITY will not have an open application process for travel support. This is to ensure that critical visa, security, and well-being support remain available for 2025 event attendees. We remain committed to helping all participants explore alternative funding options.

2025 Global Gathering Programming

2025-07-23T16:35:33Z

Ursula: /* Booths: Flexible Spaces for Sharing, Creating and Connecting */

__NOTOC__
[[File:2025 GG Programming.png|frameless|400x400px|right]]

'''The Global Gathering is a one-of-a-kind event''' that brings together digital rights defenders from around the world for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and rejuvenation. Co-designed with a diverse, global community, for the 2025 edition we are returning to our roots with a more self-organized format grounded in open space facilitation.

This year’s themes will include innovative grassroots approaches to technology challenges; circumvention and secure communication technologies; and organizational sustainability. Additionally, in light of the shifting landscape and funding freezes impacting the digital rights field, TCU is offering expanded space to partners to support urgent work that requires in-person coordination.

While program formats will center around [[Global Gathering Booths|Booths]], Villages and Circles, the heart of this year’s gathering is organic networking and collaboration - made powerful by our [[Global Gathering#pics|walled, forested venue with permanent booths]], that evokes the spirit of a small town or renaissance fair.

== Booths: Flexible Spaces for Sharing, Creating and Connecting ==
[[File:Booths with background.png|frameless|180x180px|right]]

[[Global Gathering Booths|Booths]] are a cornerstone of the 2025 Global Gathering, offering flexible spaces for participants to showcase their work, host interactive activities, or provide direct support to participants. They offer a dynamic way to engage directly with attendees and forge trust-based relationships and collaborations.

Each booth shift typically lasts two hours and takes place in one of the venue’s permanent wooden kiosks—all equipped with electricity.

'''Submit your Booth proposals by July 31:''' https://gathering.digitalrights.community/

'''How can I host a Booth?'''[[File:GG information booth.png|201x201px|thumb|''Booths have electricity, internet, and furniture.'']]

We are currently accepting Booth proposals! Submit a proposal by logging into the '''[https://gathering.digitalrights.community/ GG platform]''' and selecting “Submit a Booth Proposal” from your dashboard. This option is only available ''if your GG application has been approved''.

'''There are many ways you can use a Booth including:'''
* '''Showcase your project or organization''' and connect with attendees through conversation, materials, and Q&A.
* '''Run a tool demo''', allowing participants to try out your project firsthand.
* '''Host a game or activity''', especially one with an educational or awareness-raising goal.
* '''Host a community space inside your booth,''' creating a hub for individuals from a particular network to collaborate, share, and network.[[File:2023 GG accessibility resources.png|198x198px|thumb|''Bring any devices, materials, demos, and decorations you need.'']]
* '''Offer a service,''' such as digital security support or UX consultations.
* '''Curate an exhibit''' that creatively showcases your work at the intersection of digital and human rights.
* '''Share research or published work''' with participants and answer their questions.
* '''Host a mini-workshop''' that allows attendees to engage with your team and learn something new.

'''Pro Tip:''' We highly recommend you decorate your booth in a fun and creative way, and bring your computer or devices if you want to showcase virtual materials. More information about Booth sizing and amenities is available [[Global Gathering Booths|'''here''']].

== Circles: Collaborative Discussions Rooted in Action ==
[[File:Circles with background.png|right|frameless|180x180px]]
Given the current state of the digital rights field, we are adopting an open space facilitation model for Circles - creating a more agile, participant-driven program focused on urgent needs.

Circles are 45-minute collaborative discussions facilitated by one or more participants. They can take the form of strategic discussions, action-planning around common challenges, knowledge exchange, or informal networking meetups.

'''How it will work:''' Instead of submitting proposals months ahead of the event, participants will submit a request for a Circle just prior to and during the event itself - directions forthcoming.
{| style="width:100%"
|- style="vertical-align:top;"

! style="background-color:#a7eaed; padding: 10px" | While we will be dedicating less venue space to Circles this year, participants are encouraged to propose Circles in nearby areas—such as the central park directly in front of the venue.
|}

''Things to keep in mind:''
* [[File:GG 2023 group in circle talking.png|274x274px|thumb|''Circles are 45-minute collaborative discussions facilitated participants.'']]TCU will be pre-populating the agenda with a limited number of Circles, including practitioner and regional meetups on Day 1, and field-wide conversations focused on the impact of the recent funding freeze throughout Day 1, 2 and 3.
* For venue-based Circles, we will prioritize those that:
** Advance ongoing urgent work;
** Address acute field-wide digital rights challenges;
** Reflect this year’s themes: innovative grassroots approaches to technology challenges, circumvention and secure communication technologies, and organizational sustainability; and
** Are of interest to a large percentage of participants.
* For social meetups or more niche areas (for example, IF in Cuba), we can work with you to identify nearby locations to host your Circle. In some cases, space may be available in a Regional Village space.
* We encourage Circles to reflect collective interest, not just individual ideas. Proposals with multiple collaborators will be prioritized. Consider reaching out to colleagues and organizations that can co-facilitate or contribute to your Circle. To support this, we will:
** Provide a virtual community space on our Mattermost for networking and planning; and
** Help connect you with specific participant profiles if desired.
== Villages: Partner Run Spaces for Focused Collaboration ==
[[File:Villages and Private Events with background.png|frameless|180x180px|right]]
Villages are thematic spaces run by partners and designed to foster deeper engagement around specific topic areas. Each Village is shaped by the goals of its organizer - ranging from informal networking hubs to highly structured working spaces. For example:

* Some Villages will function like cafes, where organic conversations and informal networking takes center stage.
* Others function like mini-conferences within the GG, hosting a mix of public and private “Circles,” or collaborative talks, focusing on advancing goals, knowledge or collaboration.
* Some Villages are entirely private, providing a space for cohorts or teams to meet, strategize, and reflect.
'''How can I host a Village?'''[[File:2023 GG venue aisle.png|thumb|''The well-equipped venue, surrounded by trees, supports recovery and networking.'' |297x297px]]

If your organization is interested in running a Village, please reach out to gather@digitalrights.community

'''Preview:''' '''2025 Villages'''

We are still working closely with partners to finalize the list of 2025 Villages, but here is what you can expect:

* '''Regional Community Villages''' serve as informal hubs for people working on or in a particular region. Setup cafe-style, they are ideal for spontaneous conversations and organic networking. Each regional village will have limited slots for Circles focused on urgent regional needs.
* [[File:GG Circle indoor.png|294x294px|''There will be several spaces available to host Villages and Circles.''|alt=The venue counts with multiple spaces where to held a Circle.|thumb]]'''Thematic Villages''' features both in-depth conversations and activities around a specific topic area, such as circumvention tech or information integrity. Activities can include educational sessions, collaborative talks, trainings, workshops, design sprints, or hackathons.
* '''Project-Focused Villages''' are used by projects to host priority conversations for stakeholders, run demos, or host Q&As and workshops. Unlike project-focused Booths, which are limited to two hour slots, Project-Focused Villages offer a full day or more of programming, and feature significantly more space to support extended activities.
* '''Private Villages''' are not open to the general GG participants. Generally, they are hosted in the morning, and can range from team retreats to cohort gatherings. These are invite only.

With participants representing '''144+ countries and 1,000 organizations and networks,''' the gathering’s humane design, unique outdoor venue in idyllic Estoril, and robust security and safety protocols, provides a rejuvenating environment to foster solidarity across disciplines and regions.
In response to current funding freezes, we are providing organizations and networks with more space to host their own public and private events. Please email us for more info: gather@digitalrights.community Also, we encourage everyone interested in attending to apply, as we are being flexible with the event’s size to ensure everyone has a safe and secure space to connect with others.

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Circles.png|left|frameless|106x106px]]'''Meetups & Circles'''
While Team CommUNITY will be coordinating a select number of topical and regional networking meetups, participants will be provided with tools to coordinate self-organized “Circles” or collaborative discussions. Note: Instructions will be shared after participants have been verified and accepted.
 

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Villages.png|frameless|106x106px|left]]
----'''Villages and Private Events'''

Partners will be provided with space to host their own public and/or private events via more robust Village areas. If you are interested in this option, please reach out to us as soon as possible by emailing gather@digitalrights.community. Additionally, we will be working with trusted community nodes to coordinate regional villages, where participants can host more locally-focused discussions.
 

[[File:Black_2025_GG_Icon_Booths.png|frameless|106x106px|left]]
----'''Booths'''

Projects will have the opportunity to host a booth in one of the numerous permanent structures available at the venue. Booths are great for showcasing work, demoing a tool, running a skillshare, or having one-to-one conversations with participants. '''Submit your Booth proposals by July 31:''' https://gathering.digitalrights.community/
