Circle Descriptions
| Feminist Care Infrastructure: How Does It Look Like? | Despite care being central to our values, we continue to struggle with its practical application.This session invites us to critically unpack our understandings and practices of care-especially in times of global crisis as we are going through it right now-and to co-create shared frameworks that embed care into the heart of our communities, organizations, and collectives. Together, we will explore how to formalize care without stripping it of its relational and context-specific nature. |
| Forensics for all. Democratizing digital forensics for accountability in the Global Majority through collective action. | Consent-based digital forensics are the foundation of multiple efforts and strategies that seek accountability for the targeted digital surveillance Civil Society faces across the Global Majority. When digital forensics is combined with incident response procedures, there is a greater chance of understanding threats and preventing harm. In this circle, we will be joined by peers from Global Majority labs and their partners, to discuss the challenges and needs to strengthen the capacities and skills of the South. We will map out pathways to improve a collaborative flagship initiative developed by multiple threats labs and organizations - a documentation repository to boost consented forensics on civil society (forensics.socialtic.org) Circle participants will also address the following questions: What are critical skills that can be strengthened by the community, for the community? How do we define and strengthen trust, equity and mutuality, to boost community intelligence? All are invited including practitioners, forensic experts, members of helplines, threat labs, digital safety trainers. |
| Imaginaries Futures (Part 2) | This is part 2 of a 2 part series. Imaginaries Futures explores how the current financial system shapes both possibilities and limitations for funding in the digital rights space. Through guided collective inquiry and speculative ideation, participants will examine structural barriers, map dependencies, and reflect on the governance of financial flows. Rather than offering ready-made solutions, the session creates space for imagining new funding architectures grounded in solidarity, care, and resistance that could support more just and resilient futures. This is an exploratory phase for developing a shared language, identifying questions, and exploring potential directions for building alternative financial realities. |
| Media vs. Censors - Sharing Expertise | In this circle, we want to facilitate exchange among media and publishers of all sizes who are trying to bring their content to autocracies, either in their own country from exile, or on the international stage. Some questions covered include: What impact do these conditions have on editorial work?; What do shutdowns mean for distribution, and how do communicators and recipients deal with them?; What learnings from the past can help our future goals? |
| Navigating Anonymity and Truth | Anonymity is often a methodology used in creative outputs, or as a safety measure that allows expression while preventing detection and outing. In this Circle, participants will share how they use anonymity in their work; what makes particular "anonymous" content more trustworthy; and what are its potential and limits in the current context of increased surveillance, disinformation, automation and militarization.
Participants will also discuss how does impact our relationship with truth and political organizing. |
| Numun Fund Session Part 2 | |
| Regional Digital Rights Alliances - Lessons & Collaboration | This circle is an invitation for thinkers and participants of digital rights alliances and networks around the globe to discuss lessons learnt building alliances and also share main challenges to tackle together.||Every region has been facing its own digital rights challenges and creating it's own impact stories, building collectives and alliances to raise awareness and advocate for citizen's digital rights. During the discussion we map the main digital trends and challenges faced by digital rights and human rights defenders across regions.||The circle aims to create a core group to sustain the connection and constant communication around collective issues between digital rights alliances in different regions |
