Digital Literacy for Grassroots Groups 101

March 16th, 6-8pm at ECOLE (3559 rue University)

In this 2 hour interactive workshop, we will explore why and how grassroots groups and organizations can leverage digital tools for change.

Topics to explore include:

* Why digital literacy matters

* How to manage and communicate information, and

* What free/low-cost tools are available

This will be presented by Andy Tran and Fatima Barron

Andy Tran (they/them) is a socialist, software developer, and recovering physicist. They are Vietnamese and spend their free time raising awareness and building support for the Philippine national democratic movement until its victory. WIth experiences in helping groups and organization set up websites and digital campaigns, they look forward to contributing to the McGill and Montreal community.

Fatima Barron (she/her) is a queer, neurodivergent, second-generation Filipina non-profit worker by day and an organizer and artist by non-day. With experiences in paid and unpaid communication, outreach, and facilitation, empower people with the tools needed to continue their collective struggle.

Accessibilité

  • We regret to note that ECOLE is not wheelchair accessible. The front entrance is four steps up and has two heavy doors with a buzzer system.
  • Most of the doors in the building are heavy, including washroom doors. All washrooms are single-use and non-gendered. There are unfortunately no handrails next to the toilets or sinks.
  • All rooms have fluorescent lighting, though during the day many rooms can be lit with natural light through large windows.
  • We cannot guarantee that ECOLE is a scent-free space.
