>>>> in successful campaigns.
>>>>
>>>> The camp provides a space for intensive learning and doing, a
>>>> structured 'skill-share' environment for experienced advocates
>>>> that will give them the confidence and know-how to leverage the
>>>> limited resources they have to create greater impact. During the
>>>> week, participants will learn how to creatively integrate new
>>>> technologies in to their advocacy and create long lasting
>>>> connections with other advocates and tech-activists.
>>>>
>>>> The camp will give rights advocates the practical skills, tools
>>>> and techniques to use technology to:
>>>>
>>>> Gather and analyse information and facilitate evidence-based
>>>> campaigning
>>>> Create and disseminate targeted, accessible and engaging
>>>> information for advocacy efforts that have impact on targets and
>>>> mobilise support
>>>> Increase participation from affected communities
>>>> Enable cooperation and coordination with allies
>>>> Minimise security and privacy vulnerabilities
>>>> The Info-Activism Camp is organised by Tactical Tech and will be
>>>> held in India, February 2009. Tactical Tech is an international
>>>> NGO helping rights advocates use information, communications and
>>>> digital technologies to maximise the impact of their advocacy
>>>> work. We provide advocates with guides, tools, training and
