Objective: The objective of these sessions is to give participants an opportunity to put into practice the learnings of the previous sessions and develop an effective global policy advocacy strategy. Participants will also be able to learn the use of the CYRILLA database, and to understand how they can leverage a database containing laws, case laws, and analyses related to digital rights for policy advocacy.
Session plan:
The sessions will comprise the following activities:
1. Participants will be split into breakout groups and given an exercise that requires them to:
-
- Use the CYRILLA database to research relevant laws, case laws and analysis related to digital rights in an assigned country;
- Develop a comprehensive strategy for carrying out policy advocacy related to a particular digital rights issue
2. Each breakout group will be asked to present their strategy in plenary, followed by a discussion around the various approaches, resources and tools that can be used in pursuing global policy advocacy.
