Free Expression, Technology, and Political Change

Questions to ask, if we are in a place / situation where we want to cooperate:

  • How do we hold ourselves accountable?
  • Ask questions that were written locally

Corporate Sponsorship of Conferences: Ethics and Independence 

Very interesting session that brought around the table all actors: corporations and NGOs and conferences organisers and activists. Other important points came up: Code of Conduct, transparent Funding Policy for events and NGOs, independent Programme Committee for choosing talks based on their merit.
