My own campaign
How can you translate your personal views on politics and society into solid stories with a clear message? Learn how to express yourself on issues you find important. Dirk Slater and Andrew Lowenthal from the Tactical Technology Collective will teach you how to tackle subjects such as citizen journalism and campaigning, and the boundaries of freedom of speech.
