All Out and AQYI are pleased to announce the next phase of the Fueling Digital Activism training series in Africa.
From 13th to 17th November 2023, we will be holding an immersive training for young LGBTQI+ rights activists from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo. We will bring activists from these countries together for a participatory training in digital activism, creating a network of empowered change-makers across the West Africa region to understand the challenges affecting LGBTQI+ youth in Africa. The training will take place in West Africa and travel will be arranged on the 12th and 18th of November.
This training will give participants a better understanding of advocating for LGBTQI+ rights, as well as the opportunity to launch and run their own digital campaigns.
The curriculum is based on a needs analysis of select activists from throughout the region and will cover a range of topics impacting digital campaigning, including creating a campaign, fundraising, creative elements, working with the media, digital security, and mental health and wellness.
