  1. Surrounded by Comics!

    I'd love to hear that ideas involving comic books were part of the 2015 Summit! Here are some suggestions:
    1. A panel gathering comic book artists who do use this art form to advocacy and also offer a local perspective to readers everywhere thanks to the internet. Kanika Mishra, creator of Karnika Kahen, is an example of how comics can empower groups - she gave voice to girls in India and just got a prize for her courage (disclosure - I did write a post about it). It would be perfect to involve artists from the host country, so that…

  2. Disaster-Preparation and Social Media

    Let's discuss the best practices in using social media for disaster-preparation, monitoring and response. Let's review the experience of Southeast Asian nations: How governments are adopting social media tools, how telcos are behaving or delivering online tools during disasters, and how netizens are innovating. Specifically, let's recall Thailand Flood 2011, Philippine Haiyan 2013, the Southeast Asia Haze, Indonesia volcano eruption.

    We can discuss the importance of reliable, accessible, open IT infrastructure during disasters.

  3. The use of social media in the fight against the disappearance of the minor languages: blogs, Facebook, Twitter, radio, TV and online discus

    In many countries, particularly in Africa, linguistic groups are formed around common interests, using their native languages. By example, there are hundreds of sites dealing of Fulani culture, general information, dating, simple language learning, etc.

    This working group would review the experience of participants, difficulties and suggestions for resolving them.

  4. Tackling hatespeech and intimidation online against activists/journalists

    Over the past few weeks, I have been the target of Azerbaijani government for the work I do in public diplomacy. My case was covered by most pro-government media and I have been turned into a traitor who deserves punishment. In addition to this, being female writer made it an even easier target as I began getting so many intimidation messages online calling me a wh. I also received several death threats and many more promises to f me in all ways possible to punish me for my work. I think this is another important discussion people should gather…

    I would be very much interested in joining a conversation about/with online platforms, tools, that offer services enabling journalists working on investigative stories and how these services and tools can be shared with journalists working around the world.
