beyondactivismo's Introduction

Logo
Our goal is to understand what people from different cultures, religions, and countries have in common through their activism. Exploring how activist can help each other, is an amazing but difficult task. With that in mind we are working on an open project that tries to connect and share the histories & experiences of human rights activists, delivering the content in different languages, in attractive and creative ways.

Mozsprint

Welcome

Hi! Welcome to Beyond Activismo at the mozilla global sprint!

Thank you very much for visiting us, we are very happy to share information about the project, and to have the possibility of inviting you to be part of this community.

You can read about our project ⬇️ here ⬇️, read the Contributing or just introduce yourself here and meet the team!

If you want you can jump straight to one of the sections below, or just scroll down to find out more 😃

What are we doing?

We are working in an open project that tries to connect and share the histories & experiences of human rights activists, delivering the content in different languages, in attractive and creative ways.

The problems that we want to solve are the following:

  1. When human rights topics are discussed in the news, often activists lack attention. Even if their struggles get worldwide attention, they often are not visible, their motives, strategies and experiences are lost.
  2. Human rights activists around the world don’t have an easy tool for connecting with each other, and it is important that they can share their experiences to empower others.
  3. Collecting and distributing information is too big a task for only a couple of people.

What is our solution?

With those problems as a starting point, we came up with an idea for a safe multilingual platform, that works as an open collaboration network between different people around the world.

Here, on the one hand we can share verified human rights activists’ experiences and histories in an attractive and creative way, documented by the BA Community.

On the other hand, human rights activists can inspire, interact, collaborate and support each other.

How do we plan to achieve this?

We are planning to tackle these problems basically through three mechanisms that converge::

1. Interviews: We see interviews as a way to connect. That is why we strongly believe that we need to know and share the histories and experiences of human rights activists in a creative and attractive way. Because of the importance of the interviews we always have to keep their purpose in mind, which includes:

  • the background of the activists
  • about their motivations
  • their way to think about and do activism
  • their experiences doing activism and recommendations
  • their support doing activism
  • to connect the activists with our readers, community and future interested collaborators and activists.

It is also important to say, that improving the storytelling of the content of the interviews is strongly related to the achievment of our goals, so is something that we need to always have in mind when we upload the interviews.

2. Open Platform: As a project based on the internet that has the need to expand around the world to meet its goals, we are working on a open platform that has three core principles: Openness, Decentralization and Digital Inclusion.

3. Community: To achieve our goals we need to build a community of collaborators, readers, activists, sharers and so on - their different skills all benefit the project. As we said before it is a project coceived as an open, decentralized and inclusive global community... without a strong community this project will never succeed.

Why it is exciting to take part in Beyond Activismo?

Beyond Activismo is exciting because it aims to be a global, open community of collaborators willing to share and create content about the experiences and histories of human rights activists.

Being part of Beyond Activismo is a way to make a change, inspire others, and co-work with diversely-skilled people around the world who want to spread the word, and help others to find solutions, inspiration and friends along the way.

Get involved?

Everybody can be involved in Beyond Activismo and there are multiple ways to do it.

Getting UX input from the Open Source Design community

@triaslucia you mentioned that you were interested in getting input on the UX of the toolkit, I believe?

You could start a thread on the Open Source Design forum and ask for help there. I think that what you will need to be successful is the following:

  • make sure that you have all the materials for your toolkit published, and ready to be reviewed (you can create an issue and assign it to me when you would like me to review the English text)

  • I will review the English text and let you know when I'm finished

  • you sign up for an account on the OSD forum (if you haven't already)

  • make a post in the Usability Reviews and Research category, called something like UX review request: Beyond Activismo Toolkit. If you want, you could write a draft version of that post as a comment ↓ in this thread ↓, and the rest of the BA team and I can give you feedback on it, or else you can just post directly in the OSD forum. I guess that the post would need a very brief introduction to BA & the context for the toolkit, links to materials, and maybe an image or two, and mention that BA will be participating in [Mozsprint](link to #46 maybe?).

  • additionally, introduce yourself on the introductions thread, say why you're interested in OSD, what you're working on, and mention that you're [looking for UX input](link to your UX review request: Beyond Activismo Toolkit thread).

  • When you have posted, I will comment on the thread as well, and @ ping specific users who may be able to help you.

What do you think, would this approach work for you? Is there anything else that I (or others) can help you with?

Musicalize audiovisual campaigns and films.

captura de pantalla 2018-04-14 a las 5 36 52 p m
As you can see the idea is also to work in audiovisual format, in turn, there is a predispocisión to integrate different forms of art to each of the tasks of Beyond Activism. For this reason, the music composition of our audiovisual projects and that of our collaborators is fundamental.

Therefore, if you are interested in helping us, please write an Issue, telling us about yourself and your willingness to collaborate with Beyond Activismo.

Pitching BA

We need a short Pitch in english for ourselfs and future collaborators that approach interviewees.
I think it should

  • not be longer than 2min (less even better)
  • explain who we are, what problem we try to solve an how we solve it
  • we should make a video

This issue is connected to #15 #18

Propose improvements to the storytelling of our written interviews

captura de pantalla 2018-04-14 a las 5 36 52 p m

The Storytelling of an interview is one of the most important aspects of this project, how we use a narrative and how we connect with different people around the world is one of our most important challenges to succeed. That is the reason why we are looking for people with experience or with enthusiasm to help us in our project, or that can do suggestions, recommend techniques, authors to read, people who can teach us, etc.

So feel free to comment below, with that you are being part of the solution and we really appreciate it.
Allways remember our code of conduct

Who is Beyond Activismo?

The README is a nice introduction to the project, but I don't get any sense of who the people behind the project are, and why they are motivated to work on it...
I think that your video will help to address this, which is great.

But I wanted to share one more easy idea which you could think about implementing in addition: an introductions thread.

The other project I'm mentoring is We Are All Connected, and they have added an introductions issue for project participants and new contributors to say hi. If you wanted to set up a similar issue, I think the best way to do it would be to call the issue something like Introductions: Welcome to Beyond Activismo! with a short introduction, like the WAC issue:
If you are interested in this project, even if you're not sure how to contribute, please say "Hi" and tell us a bit about yourself, and why you're interested in the topic of activism.
Then each of you can comment on the issue:
Hi, I'm Josefina... this is my background... this is why I'm interested in working on Beyond Activismo... this is how I contribute...

Working Open with Wordpress

captura de pantalla 2018-04-14 a las 5 36 52 p m

We are searching for solutions on working open with our Wordpress multisite.

Due to our technical infrastructure and secure hosting by Deflect, we are bound to wordpress as a CMS. We also use Wordpress Multisite to offer subsites in different languages.
At the same time we feel, that enableing an open workflow is pretty dificult with Wordpess.

  • What are the posibilities of linking GitHub and Wordpress?

  • How can we manage translations?

Readme: translation English into Polish.

Naszym celem jest zrozumienie, co mają ze sobą wspólnego ludzie z różnych kręgów kulturowych, wyznaniowych oraz krajów, złączeni ze sobą czynnościami aktywistycznymi. Odkrywanie, jak aktywiści mogą pomagać sobie nawzajem, jest wspaniałym, lecz jednocześnie trudnym zadaniem. Mając to na uwadze, pracujemy nad otwartym projektem, który ma na celu próbę połączenia i dzielenia się historiami & doświadczeniami aktywistów na rzecz praw człowieka, dostarczając te treści w ciekawy i kreatywny sposób w różnych językach.

Witamy!

Czym się zajmujemy?

Pracujemy nad otwartym projektem, który ma na celu próbę połączenia i dzielenia historii & doświadczeń aktywistów na rzecz praw człowieka, dostarczając te treści w ciekawy i kreatywny sposób w różnych językach.

Problemy, które chcemy rozwiązać:

  1. Kiedy w mediach porusza się tematy praw człowieka, opiniotwórcza działalność aktywistów jest często pomijana. Nawet jeśli ich wysiłki przyciągną uwagę w skali świata, są one często niezauważalne, a ich motywy, strategie oraz doświadczenia giną na tle innych głosów.

  2. Aktywiści na rzecz praw człowieka na świecie nie mają łatwego zadania w kwestii łączenia się ze sobą i dlatego jest tak ważne, żeby mogli oni się dzielić swoimi doświadczeniami, aby w ten sposób służyć wsparciem innym.

  3. Zbieranie i dystrybucja danych jest zbyt dużym zadaniem dla małej grupki osób.

Jakie jest nasze rozwiązanie?

Potraktowawszy wspomniane problemy jako punkt wyjścia, wyszliśmy z inicjatywą stworzenia bezpiecznej, wielojęzycznej platformy internetowej, która w naszym rozumieniu będzie funkcjonowała jako otwarta sieć współpracy pomiędzy ludźmi z całego świata.

Z jednej strony możemy dzielić się uwierzytelnionymi doświadczeniami i historiami aktywistów na rzecz praw człowieka w ciekawy oraz kreatywny sposób, który będzie udokumentowany przez społeczność BA.

Z drugiej strony, aktywiści na rzecz praw człowieka mogą inspirować, wchodzić ze sobą w kontakt, współpracować oraz wspierać siebie nawzajem.

Jak zamierzamy to osiągnąć?

W uproszczeniu nasz plan zakłada stawienie czoła tym problemom za pomocą trzech mechanizmów, które można scharakteryzować następująco:

  1. Wywiady: wywiady postrzegamy jako nasz sposób na łączenie się ze sobą. Jest to powód, dla którego wierzymy, że musimy znać historie i doświadczenia aktywistów na rzecz praw człowieka i dzielić się nimi w ciekawy i kreatywny sposób. Ze względu na dużą wagę istoty wywiadów zawsze musimy mieć na uwadze cel ich powstawania. Na ten składają się następująco:

przeszłość aktywistów
powody ich zaangażowania
ich sposoby postrzegania aktywizmu i jego metodologii
ich doświadczenia w zakresie aktywizmu oraz rekomendacje
ich wsparcie w zakresie aktywizmu.
połączenie aktywistów z naszymi czytelnikami, społecznością oraz przyszłymi zainteresowanymi współpracą oraz pracą na rzecz aktywizmu.

Istotne jest również, by wspomnieć, poprawa jakości przedstawianych treści wywiadów jest jednym z naszych celów, które chcemy osiągnąć. Dlatego jest to coś, na co zawsze zwracamy uwagę, zamieszczając na naszej platformie wywiady.

  1. Otwarta platforma internetowa: jako że jest to projekt operujący w ramach zasobów internetowych, których zakres docierania do odbiorców należy rozszerzyć na skalę światową, pracujemy na otwartej platformie internetowej, która kieruje się trzema głównymi prawami: Otwartość, Decentralizacja i włączenie odbiorców za pośrednictwem Internetu.

  2. Społeczność: w celu osiągnięcia naszych celów musimy zbudować społeczność współdziałaczy, czytelników, aktywistów i ludzi dzielących się swoimi zasobami - wszystkie ich różnorodne umiejętności mogą przynieść korzyść projektowi. Jak wcześniej wspomnieliśmy, wyobrażamy sobie ten projekt jako otwarty, zdecentralizowany z zaangażowaną międzynarodową społecznością... bez silnej społeczności ten projekt nigdy nie osiągnie sukcesu.

Dlaczego współudział w Beyond Activismo jest tak ekscytujący?

Beyond Activismo jest ekscytujący, ponieważ jego cele mają globalny zasięg, a jego społeczność chce tworzyć i dzielić się doświadczeniami oraz historiami aktywistów na rzecz praw człowieka.

Bycie częścią Beyond Activismo daje szansę, żeby coś zmienić, zainspirować innych oraz współpracować z ludźmi o różnorakich umiejętnościach z całego świata, którzy pragną uczynić świat bardziej dostępnym, pomóc innym w odnalezieniu inspiracji i rozwiązań problemów oraz przy okazji przyjaciół.

Chcesz się zaangażować?

Każdy może współdziałać w Beyond Activismo i jest kilka sposobów, żeby to zrobić.

Safe donation method

captura de pantalla 2018-04-14 a las 5 36 52 p m

In order to grow as a project, we'll need to be able to receive donations, at least to pay for our technical infrastructure.

Therefore we need to implement an online payment solution, but we would like to implement a anonymous way of donation. Cryptocurrency may be a way, but we'd like to implement a less techy way. Transaction fees should be as low as possible.

Are there existing plattforms, we could implement?

How did other NGO's / companies deal with the same issue?
