I am new to the Human Rights community. I work in technology and have had a long career in technology in the corporate world; this is my first time working in a non-profit Human Rights organization. By joining New Tactics I have learned about the Human Rights field and its work. By participating in the on-line dialogues, I have learned about how to bring my work tasks – those tech tasks – and think about how those tasks are truly part of the Human Rights work world.
I especially appreciated the dialogue about Video Advocacy. I just happened to be developing a video at that exact time! I learned so much from the practitioners and I was made aware of incredible resources. The video we developed was better because of what I learned while participating in the dialogue. The opportunity to ask questions of experienced practitioners was so valuable. Where else could I have connected with several experts in Video Advocacy so easily?
