HI all
Thanks Anriette for sharing this, and the whole team who organized this
event... Just wanted to join the chorus of Thumbs Up for this
initiative: powerful and empowering way of using social media and
incorporating a gender perspective right from the outside on those
techie/rights topics that exercise many of us at present.
Best Practice example of Storify to curate an event on the ground and
online. Really enjoyed reading it too and getting a sense of the African
Continent"s context-specifics of debates around human rights online, NN,
and Zero-Rating..
I assume Selfie Sticks were engaged in those last images...(:))
best
