|-
|<small>'''Activate the Network: Collective Training Against Internet Shutdowns'''</small>
|<small>In this Circle, we will explore how capacity building can empower activists and organizations to form effective coalitions in the fight against internet shutdowns. We will bring together diverse participants to discuss strategies, share experiences, and debate the best approaches to promote resilience and coordinated action in contexts of digital censorship. This session aims to be a catalyst for inter-organizational collaboration, strengthening a global network united by the defense of online freedom.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Amplifying Research on Digital Rights through Popular Culture'''</small>
|<small>How can research and digital rights organizations do more to democratize access to information about the future of digital rights? Researchers, technologists, journalists, activists, and creatives will come together to explore how to use creative use of media to amplify information about privacy, safety, and the threats of the future, including how to cut through cynicism and apathy about digital autonomy, and how to use popular culture, including film, music, and social media, to put key safety and access information in front of more people.</small>
|-
|'''<small>APC</small>'''
|
|-
|'''<small>Bridging the Gaps Between Activists and Hackers: How To Talk With Each Other About Security</small>'''
|<small>There is a lot of powerful, open security-related technology that remains known and used only to specialists and hackers - technology that could be used by journalists, activists and other persons with high security needs. However, there are many barriers between activist and hacker spaces, many of which are related to communication problems and lack of awareness of what exactly are other people's needs. As a hacker and UX developer, I would like this circle to facilitate exchange of ideas and issues between those communities.</small>
|-
|'''<small>Building a digital rights movement among the Francophone Community</small>'''
|<small>During our very first online meetings, our francophone Team Community identified the need to better coordinate our efforts across French-speaking countries in Africa and the Middle East to identify patterns of digital threats. While many of us will meet in person for the first time at the Global Gathering, our goal with this Circle is to build community-driven knowledge and strategize advocacy campaigns within the French-speaking digital rights community.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Building a new privacy-preserving and decentralized messenger'''</small>
|<small>We’re building a new generation of open-source messenger combining privacy, security, and decentralization. This is based on the [https://blog.phnx.im/rfc-9420-mls/ Messaging Layer Security protocol] and a tech stack we have been developing. We want to discuss with you what the future of secure messaging might look like and what your needs are for messaging applications.</small>
|-
|'''<small>Building The Asia Digital Rights Community</small>'''
|<small>This circle will operate as a networking-cum-strategizing space for digital rights defenders from Asia. It will help in establishing cross-country networks to enable regional collaborations. It will codesign strategies to effectively sustain the digital rights community's momentum in the Asia region; create more welcoming and engaging spaces; and identify ways in which more people can participate and be helped in their digital rights work in the region.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Butter Box in Latin American Indigenous languages'''</small>
|<small>In this circle, we will share our lessons and learnings from the process of localizing Butter Box in Latin American indigenous languages, the impacts obtained, and the importance of localizing circumvention tools in Latin American indigenous communities.</small>
|-
|'''<small>ButterBox-life without the internet made smoother</small>'''
|<small>This past year we deployed the ButterBox ecosystem in various regions around the globe. The ButterBox is a hotspot & ecosystem of curated apps, encrypted chat and the ability to share resources via a USB. This circle will focus on hearing from the field agents who implemented the box in various use cases (for digital security trainings, within an apartment building for sharing entertainment, with indigenous offline communities, to prepare for internet shutdowns). We will also provide time to brainstorm the future of Butter with attendees.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Calyx Institute'''</small>
|<small>CiviCERT is a network of Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), Rapid Response teams, and independent Internet Content and Service Providers who help civil society prevent and address digital security issues. This private session will allow CiviCERT members to meet in person, discuss network issues and develop opportunities for further in-network collaboration.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Challenges in Data-Driven Journalism'''</small>
|<small>Engage in a collaborative session that delves into the challenges and opportunities in data-driven journalism. Share experiences, tools, and techniques that aid journalists in uncovering and narrating impactful stories through data.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Co-leadership for sustainable organizations'''</small>
|<small>Co-leadership is an innovative model to enable sustainability, allowing for alternatives to single-leadership, distributing power and decision making within organizations. Through the approach we’ve developed at The Engine Room, we’ve found that it can center trust, mutual care, and collaboration, while uplifting the differences in lived experiences, which can be critical to fostering organizational resilience and wellbeing. We look forward to sharing our experience, and hear from participants reflecting on their journey towards co-leadership models - even if this journey hasn't started yet. We expect to explore together how to build trust, care and collaboration and how a model like this one, can impact equity, collaboration, wellbeing, funder relations, remote work, decision making and strategy setting. We will also look to make space to surface skills, knowledge, practices to be cultivated, and learn together as a community on how to support each other through this path.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Community Networks Circle'''</small>
|<small>Digital Identity systems are a global issue that affects many countries around the world. Because of the multilateral nature of these systems being deployed often by US and European companies in other world regions, the worldbank pushing for their adoption and the EU being on track to rolling out a fully harmonised system, it's urgent activists coordinate. This session is for sharing experiences with digital identity systems in your country, working towards holding actors accountable and establishing a goal for our community in terms of risk and safeguards.</small>
|-
|<small>'''CTRL + ALT + DEL: Learnings on movement building from the Digital Rights Asia-Pacific Assemblies'''</small>
|<small>What comes next after two Digital Rights Asia-Pacific (DRAPAC) Assemblies in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Taipei, Taiwan? This Circle is open to anyone who wants to discuss how the digital rights movement in the Asia-Pacific can continue to. Empower peoples across Asia-Pacific to regain control of our civic spaces, fundamental rights, social platforms, and digital technology from the dominance of big tech and interference by the state. Platform innovative alternatives in approaching and strategizing human rights advocacy in Asia-Pacific by centering local grassroots communities and strengthening networks across borders. Shift our thinking and culture towards more open, inclusive, and participatory decision-making processes and governance structures within the regional digital rights movements.</small>
|-
|'''<small>Co-leadership for sustainable organizations</small>'''
|<small>Co-leadership is an innovative model to enable sustainability, allowing for alternatives to single-leadership, distributing power and decision making within organizations. Through the approach we’ve developed at The Engine Room, we’ve found that it can center trust, mutual care, and collaboration, while uplifting the differences in lived experiences, which can be critical to fostering organizational resilience and wellbeing.\nWe look forward to sharing our experience, and hear from participants reflecting on their journey towards co-leadership models -- even if this journey hasn't started yet. We expect to explore together how to build trust, care and collaboration and how a model like this one, can impact equity, collaboration, wellbeing, funder relations, remote work, decision making and strategy setting. We will also look to make space to surface skills, knowledge, practices to be cultivated, and learn together as a community on how to support each other through this path.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Disinfo f*ck up - Open Mic session'''</small>
|<small>In 2021, my team and I collaborated with a range of national and international media to expose a harmful propagandist responsible for hundreds of arrests in Myanmar. Did he lose sleep over the reporting? Not exactly. He embraced the notoriety and, if anything, only became worse. His goal was to be known and feared and we had just fed right into his KPIs. Does this sound familiar? Do you have your own stories of disinformation interventions gone wrong? Come swap war stories and talk through the unique ways that efforts to name, shame, debunk, or otherwise undermine disinformation actors can at times backfire.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Community Networks Circle'''</small>
|<small>The digital rights defenders ecosystem is facing a number of equity challenges. From disparities in access to resources to discrimination and harassment - the impact isn't uniform; voices go unheard, experiences vary, and representation isn't equal. As we defend the rising number of threats facing our diverse digital landscape, let’s work to make sure that everyone is included in the process of creating inclusive change.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Countering digital authoritarianism and online repression in Central Asia'''</small>
|<small>In Central Asia, digital rights are facing a significant decline as governments introduce restrictive laws targeting independent media, journalists, bloggers and anti-corruption reporters. Online freedom is increasingly being curtailed by surveillance and privacy crackdowns. The proposed session brings together leading media lawyers and human rights activists from the region to address these pressing issues.</small>
|-
|'''<small>Current blocking trends, how states in different countries do it</small>'''
|<small>The event is intended to discuss current trends in the field of government blocking and censorship on the Internet. It will examine the methods used by governments to control and restrict access to information online, as well as discuss the challenges facing users and technology companies. Topics for discussion: 1. Current trends in government blocking: analysis of recent events and changes in censorship policies in various countries. 2. Methods of implementing censorship: studying the technologies and methods used by states to block access to certain resources and services on the Internet. 3. Impact on Freedom of Information: Discusses the implications of government censorship for freedom of speech, human rights, and the development of the Internet community. 4. Development prospects: the search for new approaches to bypassing blocking and protecting user privacy, as well as the role of technology companies in this process.</small>
|-
|<small>'''Feminist Tech Play Session: Approaches & Tools in Building Decentralised Community Platforms'''</small>
|<small>What have been your experiences in building and hosting platforms for community building and organising? There is a plethora of tools and options, e.g. ActivityPub, Matrix, XMTP, Discourse, Scuttlebutt, good ol' mailing list, but they all come with their in/conveniences and affordances. Come share your experiences, tools, approaches and dreams in building decentralised community platforms!</small>
|-
|<small>'''From Rapid Response to Sustainable Protection: Responding to Digital Threats Through Funding'''</small>
| <small>The increasingly hostile scenario of digital threats and attacks on human rights defenders makes the existence of rapid response mechanisms and long-term digital security capacity-building core resources for civil society and grassroots organisations.

Hoodies up, keyboards down, hack(tivist) the planet!</small>
|-
|<small>'''Harassment reporting: Identifying opportunities for more effective collective power""'''</small>
|<small>Reports from PEN America, Internews, and others have recently outlined the difficulties our communities face when we report harassment to social media platforms. In this collaborative workshop, we will work to identify ""pain points"" in the harassment reporting process that we may be able to address collectively. We will go through a broad overview of the PEN and Internews reports. Then we will go through a ""map"" of all stakeholders in the harassment reporting process, starting with the moment someone gets harassed, continuing through helplines and social media reporting channels, and tracing these through to legal cases, technical analyses and reports that our community develops. We will specifically focus on how to work together to identify patterns in attacks, and other aspects that are making reporting difficult.<br><br>As part of her work as Dan Kaminsky Fellow at HUMAN Security, Gus Andrews has been on a ""listening tour"" of the digital human rights community, recording difficulties in our process of helping those under attack online.</small>

|<small>Companies around the world are employing tactics that strangle employee voices to force secrecy about bad behavior. But the ability to speak out is essential to the fight to ensure oversight and regulation of tech companies who are mis-using NDAs, created to protect trade secrets, and silencing victims and witnesses of corporate wrongdoing. US federal law - following California's Silence No More Act - has started to chisel away at this problem by excluding workplace harassment from these clauses.<br><br>This is a Call for Collaboration: Whistleblower Aid is working to launch a campaign to educate workers on the actual threat these agreements represent so we can hold these powerful companies accountable to their actions - while keeping workers safe.</small>

|<small>Break the Algorithm Black Box - Consumer Alliance for Algorithm Transparency (#CALL4#ALGORITHM#TRANSPARENCY)</small>
|<small>This campaign advocates that the users of social networks, as owners of data and holders of data protection rights, should exercise their right of access to the logic involved in the automatic processing of their data and the consequences associated with it, such as the qualifications they are labelled with and the behaviural inducing techniques that they are subject to, by social networks or third parties that acquire user data points.</small>
<small>If we, users and data subjects, have access to what algorithms produce about us, and for what purposes and using which techniques, we open the way not only for accountability for misuse of data, but also to set the boundaries of what social networks can and cannot do to people.</small>


<small>That's why we invite everyone in the EU who is a user of a social network to subscribe to the Request of Access under Article 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation template provided online by the '''''CONSUMER ALLIANCE FOR ALGORITHM TRANSPARENCY''''', POWERED BY THE '''EUROPEAN CONSUMER ASSOCIATION ''IUS OMNIBUS''''', which in Latin means '''''Justice for ALL'''''.</small>
'''+ Connect, be joyful, and immerse yourself in creative energy.''' The sole purpose of this event is to bring digital rights networks together so we can collectively improve the solutions and strategies addressing the acute challenges our communities are facing. We encourage you to check out the [[Community Culture|Community Culture Guidelines]] of this event.

El proyecto está dirigido a personas que tengan oportunidad de repensar su relación afectiva con las tecnologías: los modos de hacer, los vínculos que habilitan o inhabilitan, los impactos cercanos y lejanos. Buscamos activar nuestra capacidad de creación colectiva, nuestras posibilidades de articularnos políticamente, de rescatar nuestras maneras colectivas de hacer juntas desde la revinculación> y el afecto, nuestra voluntad de reconocernos como comunidad y posibilidad, nuestro compromiso de responsabilizarnos como acción colectiva. Queremos hacer explícita nuestra voluntad de generar impactos deseados y nuestra potencia transformadora de mundos. Nuestra ilusión por construir futuros dignos y justos para todas.</small>

|<small>Psychosocial research has demonstrated a severe crisis of emotional health in the digital rights space. At Team Community (TCU), we propose that structural issues of this industry, specifically labour rights, are crucial to tackle this problem, and in the recent months we have been sharing in different spaces the Digital Justice Every Day pamphlet with concrete organisational policies to tackle this crisis that not only affects the wellbeing of our community members but also impacts in the quality of the work we produce.</small><small>During two hours we will be available to safely discuss labour rights affairs, we have noticed the lack of instances to reflect on this topic so this opportunity will be a necessary moment to assess and promote better holistic conditions for the different individuals participating in the 2023 Global Gathering. Our intention is to advance towards collective strategies between digital rights defenders, funders and other stakeholders to make the right to decent work a standard for our industry.</small><small>Just pass by, pick a pamphlet and share your thoughts if you feel like :slightly_smiling_face:</small><small>Information about our materials and resources are available at the website of our Digital Justice House program: https://www.digitaljustice.house/</small>
