http://editors.cis-india.org/digital-natives/blog/digital-natives-with-a-cause-workshop-in-santiago
<b>The third and final workshop of the Digital Natives with a Cause? research project will take place in Santiago, Chile, from 8 to 10 February 2011. Below are some frequently asked questions. </b>
<p></p>
<p><strong>The Open call for participation can be found </strong><a href="http://editors.cis-india.org/digital-natives/blog/digital-natives-with-a-cause-workshop-in-santiago-open-call" class="external-link"><strong>here</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>1.When and where is the workshop going to be held?</strong><br />
The workshop will take place over three days from 8 to 10 February 2011,
in Santiago, Chile.<br /><br />
<strong>2. Who should apply?</strong><br />
The organizers,<a href="http://rising.globalvoicesonline.org/">Rising Voices</a>,<a href="http://www.hivos.nl/english"> Hivos</a> and the <a href="http://editors.cis-india.org/">Centre for Internet and Society </a>are
interested in hearing from young people, who utilize digital technologies to
create social change in their societies or social circles.<br />
Further, the regional focus of the workshop is on Latin America and The
Caribbean, hence, only those citizens or those in that setting should apply. The event is not public in nature, only those who fit the criteria and are selected will be invited to participate. However, there might be a larger public event associated with the workshop. <br />
<strong><br />3. How can I apply?</strong><br />
You can fill an online<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/fromfacetointerface"> application</a>.
Alternatively, you can email digitalnatives@cis-india.org and ask for an email
application.<br />
<strong><br />4. What is Digital Natives with a Cause?</strong><br />
"Digital Natives with a Cause?" is an international, collaborative
research project which aims to increase the current understanding of Digital
Natives (there is not one single definition, that’s why we’re doing this
project! – but it could be understood as people who interact naturally with
digital technologies) and their role in their particular societies.<br />
<strong><br />5. What are the objectives of Digital Natives
with a Cause? How does this workshop fit in?</strong><br />
"Digital Natives with a Cause?" aims to incorporate a first-person
narrative of the use of technology by youth for social change into the ongoing
dialogue. To do this, several case studies of varying cultural backgrounds and
diverse methodologies will be compiled into a book. The case studies will be
the result of three-day workshop conducted across the developing world. Last
summer the Asian workshop happened in Taipei, Taiwan, and last fall the African
workshop happened in Johannesburg, South Africa. <br />
"Digital Natives with a Cause?" also aims to incorporate the
participants into a broad network of Digital Natives from around the world,
with similar methodology and approach. Through this network, Digital
Natives will be able to express concerns, share resources, stay connected with
peers and learn from each other.<br />
You can read a report on "Digital Natives with a Cause?"<a href="http://editors.cis-india.org/digital-natives/blog/uploads/dnrep1"> here</a>.<br />
<strong><br />6. OK, so what can I expect from this workshop?</strong><br />
You can expect an informal setting where interactive methods of communication
help you gain a better understanding of the context of your project. For
example, you will get to meet and interact with the participants of the
previous workshop in Taipei and Johannesburg. You can expect to reflect about
your project: Your motivation, methodology, focus, and context, to name a few,
and to draw parallels into other projects in the region. You can expect to
interact with a varied and diverse group of young people from around Latin
America and the Caribbean who like you, use technology for social causes.
Overall, you can expect to gain a new perspective about yourself, and the
importance of your work.<br />
<strong><br />7. Will I learn any new skills in this workshop?</strong><br />
The short answer is no. The "Digital Natives with a Cause?" project
does not aim to train or to build existing capacities among youth users of
technology. That said, you will definitely gain a lot of perspective on
your individual project and you will learn how it relates to ongoing
development processes in the region. You will also meet, interact and hopefully
befriend other young users of technology like yourself, enlarging your scope
and enriching your experience.<br />
<strong><br />8. Are there any language requirements? </strong><br />
Yes. Even though the communication during the workshop will take place both in
Spanish and English, we really need the participants to have at least a working
proficiency of English to be able to interact both with the organizers who come
from India and the Netherlands, as well as with the participants from other
workshops, thus fully contribute to the project. <br />
<strong><br />9. Will expenses be covered?</strong><br />
Yes. Expenses associated with the workshop (travel and accommodation) will be
provided for those selected participants.<br />
<strong><br />10. When is the last date to apply?
</strong>
<br />
The last day to apply is Tuesday, 4 January 2010.<br />
<strong><br />11 Where can I get more information?</strong><br />

<b>The Centre for Internet and Society, in collaboration with Tactical Tech, would like to invite you to 'A Conversation on Maps for Making Change - Using Geographical Mapping Techniques to Support Struggles for Social Justice in India', at the Centre for Internet and Society in Bangalore.</b>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong><br /></strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>When
a migrant labourer draws a map of India, what does it look like? Can
maps prove a correlation between corporate investment and Operation
Green Hunt in Chhattisgarh? </strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">For
the past five months, twenty five activists, researchers, artists and
techies have explored together, as part of the Maps for Making Change
project, the potential of geographical mapping techniques to support
struggles for social justice in India. As Maps for Making Change
comes to an end, they would like to share with you their journey,
their thoughts and their work, and to enter into a conversation with
a much wider group of people about the potential and challenges of
mapping for social justice now that new
technologies can in theory be mobilised to fight for social justice
by anyone with an interest in maps, but in practice remain confined
to the hands of a privileged few.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong><br /></strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>Join
us:</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><em><strong>from
4 pm onwards</strong></em>, for an exhibition that allows you to explore
the work of Maps for Making Change participants through
installations, websites, conversations, information, video, ... and

<p align="JUSTIFY"><em><strong>from
5 pm to 5.30 pm</strong></em>, for refreshments.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><em><strong>from

will kick off by sharing some of their own reflections and comments
on mapping for social justice, to open up the conversation to a much

http://editors.cis-india.org/events/third-maps-for-making-change-workshop
<b>The third and final workshop in the Maps for Making Change project will take place at Visthar, in Bangalore, from 26 until 28 April. During this workshop, participants will fine-tune and polish their maps; explore ways to connect with broader movements and disseminate their maps among target audiences; and reflect on their own experiences so as to distill learnings that can help us decide where to go from here. While participation in the workshop is closed, the workshop will end with a public event at the CIS office on 28 April, from 4 pm onwards, open to everybody (more information to follow soon). If you, too, share our interest in mapping for social change, then do join us there.</b>
<p><strong>The
aims of the workshop are to: </strong></p>
<ul><li>
<p>give
participants an opportunity to fine-tune and polish their maps, with
the assistance of others where needed, so that they can be shared
with a wider audience;</p>
</li><li>
<p>explore
campaigning tools and strategies for disseminating the maps produced
among target audiences, including other movements and activists;</p>
</li><li>
<p>distill
the learnings participants have made from this project, both
individually and as a group, and prepare a plan to build upon these
in the future.</p>
</li></ul>
<p><strong>By
the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:</strong></p>
<ul><li>
<p>make
informed decisions about every step of the design and implementation
process of a mapping project.</p>
</li></ul>
<p><strong>Also,
participants and organisers will be able to:</strong></p>
<ul><li>
<p>identify
the political and ethical challenges of mapping, in particular as
they apply for social justice in India;</p>
</li><li>
<p>understand
better the particularities of online activism and ways in which it
can connect better with activism on the ground in the country;</p>
</li><li>
<p>apply
their knowledge of mapping to other campaigns and movements in India
and function as a point of contact for other activists for a network
of activists using maps for making change.</p>

http://editors.cis-india.org/events/maps-for-making-change-the-first-workshop
<b>In this first workshop in a series of three, participants will think through the potential of mapping in the context of a project that they have suggested in their application and the preparations they need to make to make these ideas a reality. </b>
<p>On 3 December, 'Maps for Making Change:
Using Geographical Mapping Techniques to Support Struggles for Social
Justice in India' will officially kick off at the India Islamic
Cultural Centre on Delhi's Lodhi Road. In this first workshop in a
series of three, participants will think through the potential of
mapping in the context of a project that they have suggested in their
application and the preparations they need to make to make these
ideas a reality.</p>
<p>A joint initiative by the Centre for Internet and Society
in Bangalore and the Tactical Tech Collective in Bangalore and the
UK, Maps for Making Change is a two month project that seeks to
explore the potential of digital mapping for social change
specifically in the Indian context. For the first time, activists
and supporters of movements and campaigns working for progressive
social change in the country will get the opportunity to collectively
debate and explore in detail the potential of digital mapping as a
tool to support their work. </p>
<p align="left"><strong>The aims of
this first workshop are to: </strong></p>
<ul><li>
<p align="left">introduce
tools and techniques for mapping</p>
</li><li>
<p align="left">assist
participants to identify the information they need to collect for
their mapping project</p>
</li></ul>
<p align="left"><strong>By the end
of the workshop, the participants will be able to:</strong></p>
<ul><li>
<p align="left">understand
the socio-political context of mapping and how maps can be used to
maximise advocacy efforts</p>
</li><li>
<p align="left">identify
different types of maps (static, interactive, collaborative, etc)</p>
</li><li>
<p align="left">identify
some of the tools used for creating, uploading and editing maps (not
covering the technical aspects nor the step-by-step process for
making maps, but focusing on the general web-based mapping
techniques)</p>
</li><li>
<p align="left">understand
data collection for mapping</p>
</li></ul>
