Say No to the death penalty
The first series of this workshop program started in 2014, named "Design for Human Rights | Balancing Genders. Thanks to the support of Norway’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs we will be organising week long programs in 10 developing and emerging countries in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. The goal - as with all our work - is to promote democratic values and human rights awareness, with a special focus on promoting women's rights. The workshops will open with a debate on gender equality, led by specialists on the issue including psychologists, doctors, anthropologists and representatives from local NGOs. The rest of the week will be spent producing posters with the help of experienced designers in the social communication field from other parts of the world, before the workshop culminates in a public exhibition of the posters.
The new series of this program will start in July 2015. Thanks to the continued support of the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we will be hosting 12 workshops across Africa, Asia and Europe.

FAKE NEWS!
Fake news might feel like a recent development that has only come to prominence since the election of one politician who shall not be named, but the practice of spreading rumours and misinformation is as old as the printed word.
People have always twisted the truth, or simply told lies, to get what they want (or change the world). But now we have the ability to share information faster and wider than ever before. It used to be only a few media outlets or government sources that could shape public thought, but now everyone can.
And unlike the media or government, none of us are held accountable for what we post. As there are few laws or fines that can be thrown at us for posting lies, there is no incentive to act responsibly in the public sphere. Get likes (or votes) first, worry about potential consequences later. If the self-styled leader of the free world can’t be held to account for regularly tweeting and spreading blatant untruths, then what stops everybody else from doing the same?
