Hello friends,

Last weekend I attended a seminar at the University of London on 'Community and Communication'. One presentation really impressed me, so I thought to share some details about it. The presentation was by Marek Tuszynski who introduced us to the impressive work of the Tactical Technology Collective. Tactical Tech is an international NGO helping human rights advocates use information, communications and digital technologies to maximise the impact of their advocacy work. They provide advocates with guides, tools, training and consultancy to help them develop the skills and tactics they need to increase the impact of their campaigning. 

Some of you may already be familiar with the work of Tactical technology collective and indeed they may even be on this list? For those who are not familiar, their guides and tools are really quite fantastic and I highly recommend that activists and human rights organisations looking to use technology for advocacy and social change check out their work. Unfortunately I think all their work on their website may be in English though I know all of their tools are produced in local languages.
