The Digital Citizenship space will explore how limitations to access can include not only technical abilities, but also external forces like government surveillance, blocked access to certain areas of the Internet, lack of privacy, marginalization, and fundamental socio-cultural beliefs that bleed into online life. \r\n\r\nCome work with policy experts, legal practitioners, activists, and technologists from all over the world to raise awareness about limitations to online participation. Hear their stories and share your knowledge about online privacy and safety, mobilizing people for effective campaigning, and help create tools to keep the Web safe for everyone. We hope this experience will increase empathy about different experiences online, and will help Mozilla better understand Internet policy issues in various regions worldwide.\r\n@MozillaAdvocacy\r\n\r\nPathways:\r\nR-E-S-P-E-C-T: Sessions focused on the experiences of people marginalized online. We’ll look at gender equality, human rights abuses, government surveillance, and other issues affecting online participation.\r\n\r\nBuilding a Crowd: Sessions focused on mobilizing people to protect the open Internet. We’ll look at strategies for growing our advocacy community, and tools that help people lend their voice to protest.\r\n\r\nDon't Feed the Trolls: Sessions focused on cyberbullying and online harassment. We’ll look at ways to protect yourself and your family, and design tools for better protection.\r\n\r\nBackdoors + Cryptowars: Sessions focused on using tech tools to protect our freedom of expression. We’ll play with features in Firefox 42, discover ways to teach others about Tor, and design privacy tools we want.\r\n\r\nWhat’s your policy?: Sessions focused on Internet policies worldwide. We’ll learn about Mozilla’s stance on certain issues, and talk about how to engage the community in a meaningful way.","creator":{"login":"Saallen","id":10194015,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10194015?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen","html_url":"https://github.com/Saallen","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"open_issues":14,"closed_issues":59,"state":"open","created_at":"2015-08-26T10:28:24Z","updated_at":"2016-08-08T17:15:18Z","due_on":null,"closed_at":null},"comments":2,"created_at":"2015-09-10T17:59:35Z","updated_at":"2016-08-08T17:15:17Z","closed_at":"2016-08-08T17:15:17Z","body":"**[ Google Spreadsheet Row Number ]** 141\n**[ Facilitator ]** Trisha  Prabhu\n\n### Description\nMy goals for this session would be the following:\n1)\tRaise awareness about the deadly consequences and harmful effects caused by the silent pandemic of cyberbullying and internet negativity.\n2)\tEducate participants on the alarming statistics on teen-age suicides, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, all caused by cyberbullying.\n3)\tDiscuss why most of the parental control or cyberbullying reporting solutions are not effective?\n4)\tWhy does cyberbullying occur more in adolescents than adults?\n5)\tHow does the ReThink software and movement tackle’s cyberbullying proactively?\n6)\tWhy “ReThinking” before posting is the best strategy and how can it be integrated as part of our education systems and technology world.\n7)\tI strongly believe that, no one has to pay to be safe on the internet. I hope to have the participants carry this message\n\n\n### Agenda\nWhen I have conducted similar presentations / workshop sessions in the recent past – I like to take the first 15-20 minutes covering the items listed in the goals above. This gives the audience an opportunity to bring all their experiences and ideas to the session.  Once the audience is engaged, I would like to present 5 specific questions/ideas related to the cyberbullying and technology track and have the participants form groups of 3 or 5 to work on those questions/ideas.  Then the participants would have about 10 minutes to present their ideas and feedbacks. The questions were primarily around how they would implement such a system in their schools.  In addition to the software app that I have created, I also run a ReThink Ambassador Program, where teachers may nominate students from their schools to become ReThink Ambassadors.  \n\n### Participants\nWith an audience size of 15 and above, I would ask the audience to form small groups with individuals from across the rooms, so that individuals from various organizations, teams and areas of interest are able to come together and engage in a lively discussion. This would allow for an innovative, engaging and exciting discussion around the topics and ideas covered in the session. Each group would then have an opportunity to present their ideas and feedback. With a smaller group of participants 5 - 15, it is easier to engage and encourage all the participants in an open forum to provide their innovative ideas and feedback.\n\n### Outcome\nThe key outcome that I am looking for, would be the engagement of parents, teens, youth and educators to consider “ReThink” mind-set as one of the key lesson plans at their schools to combat Cyberbullying and to promote Internet positivity.  With “ReThink” App available on both Android and iOS, students may be encouraged to download this app on their phones and desktop computers. ReThink promotes responsible digital citizenship on and off of social media.  Just that opportunity for a second chance to reconsider their decision to post a hurtful message could mean someone’s life OR someone’s job.  That is the message I would like for the participants to take-away.\n"}}
