Feedback & mentorship
Review work together, ask questions and build confidence through practice.
Community showcase
Share projects with peers and the community, with participants choosing what to make public.
Built with each community

A shared opportunity to create.
Local context
Work with local partners and adapt to language and interests.
Accessible learning
Begin with available tools, including phones where appropriate.
Respectful storytelling
Make consent, safety and personal choice part of the learning.
Continued access
Explore shared equipment and learning spaces where resources permit.
Intended communities include rural communities, rural women, government school students, transgender communities, sex worker communities and other underserved groups. Each partnership is shaped to its own context.
