We also help civil society actors build their digital resilience. We created Hive Mind – a learning space for Activists, Trainers and Organizations around the world. We facilitate an international learning Community of Practice for activists and organizations to share their expertise and needs to later use in their local communities.
Hive Mind created online courses that aim to improve critical thinking skills, deepen your understating of mechanisms behind disinformation, show you how to take control of your exposure online but also ways of using technology to create positive change and mobilize supporters for your cause.
