I have been focusing most of my learning around security issues,
digital activism, using mobile phones, contact management, and website
design. I am planning to go into detail about all these topics in the
next few weeks, but for this post I would to tell you about one great
experience I have had so far here at the Camp - facilitating an improv
drama exercise.

notebook: The Power of Place: How historic sites can engage citizens in human rights issues

In this notebook we learn about how museums are innovating ways to keep history alive so that the public can remember and talk about what happened in the past.  The International Coalition of Historic Site Museums transforms places of passive learning into places of active citizenship and engagement.

notebook: Engaging the Media: Building support for minimum wage reform

The Korean Women Workers Associations United (KWWAU) and its partners effectively engaged media to raise public awareness and concern regarding the minimum wage system, thereby assisting in the creation of a social movement that has succeeded in changing the minimum wage law to afford greater protections for workers, especially for women.

notebook: Action Theatre

The goal of Action Theatre is to develop the capacities of young people and cultural activists at the grassroots level to be a force for change.  Action Theatre helps to create a society based on human rights, gender equity and social justice.
