Dear community,
On behalf of the Advocacy Assembly, I'm excited to announce that we'll be
running a second version of the 7-week Advocacy Assembly Shutdown Academy
training program, and *we hope that you will circulate this call for
applications to those in your network.*
Last year's Advocacy Assembly Internet Shutdown Academy Mentored Training
program received over *1,060 applications from 135 countries*,
demonstrating the overwhelming global demand for knowledge about how to
fight back against shutdowns. Given the immense interest in the first
mentored AA-ISA program, we are running it again from February through
April 2024. The program will provide support and community as you complete
ten Internet Shutdown Academy courses. You'll also have opportunities to
engage with mentors, experts, and funders.
Through online courses, discussion, and networking opportunities, you'll
gain expertise on topics like:
- Designing internet shutdown research and advocacy campaigns
- Using tools to document internet shutdowns technically
- Circumventing censorship and shutdowns with known VPNs and
circumvention tools
- Documenting human rights violations during shutdowns
- Engaging the private sector
- Using strategic litigation
By completing the program, you'll earn a certificate and join a global
network of advocates working to protect internet access.
