SUMMARY:Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Considering the growing influence of digital media on feminist and other progressive movements and vice-versa\, No2ta\, in partnership with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES)\, ABAAD\, and Open Society Foundation (OSF)\, is planning to organize the first regional feminist digital media conference that aims to bring together representatives of progressive online platforms\, feminist activists and journalists\, representatives of online feminist or progressive initiatives\, and representatives from the digital industry to discuss the ways in which digital media can be leveraged to create positive change. \nThis conference is a three-day event that features engaging panel discussions\, how-to workshops\, and a closed one-day meeting through which we aim to start a regional dialogue with feminists and other progressive actors on advancing feminist digital media and pave the way to create a network of progressive and feminist actors who can better organize and influence the narratives around feminist and social justice issues in the region.  Participants will be able to engage with like-minded individuals while also learning more about how to make their feminist content and messaging more intersectional\, relatable and engaging. (Register Now) \nPanels and workshops\nPanel 1: From accepting Taboos to breaking Taboos \nSpeakers: Fatma Ibrahim (The sex talk)\, Haneen Saleh\, Warde Bou Daher\, Dina Tarek\, Afaf Bessa \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nModerator: Amani Geha  \nDuration: 90 minutes \nIn this panel\, discussions will shed light on whether feminist actors have played a significant role in challenging and breaking down societal taboos surrounding topics such as sexual health\, menstruation\, femicides and other topics that are traditionally seen as sensitive and private. The discussion will explore whether the backlash faced by such actors limits the space for dialogue or not and if such forms of online activism are capable of normalizing discussions about taboos towards breaking the stigma around them. \nThe aim of this panel is to open a discussion on how to continue to normalize conversations around taboo topics that hinder gender justice and reinforce traditional gender roles and stereotypes. \n  \nPanel 2: From receiving to leading: How feminist leadership in digital media reshapes narrative \nSpeakers: Maysaloun Nassar\, Rasha Hilwi\, Diana Moukalled\, Nada Abdel Samad\, Tala Elissa \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nModerator: Rawaa Auje \nDuration: 90 minutes \nThis panel discussion will tap into the transformative potential of feminist leadership\, \nparticularly in media\, and highlight the significance of editorial decision-making that upholds and amplifies feminist and queer perspectives without silencing them. By shifting the narrative away from sexist\, racist\, and gender-biased frameworks\, we can embrace intersectionality and elevate all feminist struggles. \nThrough this open dialogue\, our aim is to empower individuals to challenge and disrupt the patriarchal practices in media spaces while encouraging women to take on leadership roles\, and practice feminist leadership\, to better shape narratives in a feminist way. \nWorkshop: From analog to digital: How To Utilize the Latest Digital Trends and Features \nSpeakers: Bisan Owda\, Doja Dawoud\, Lama Rabah\, Henda chennaoui \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nModerator:  Sanaa Khoury \nDuration: 90 minutes \nIn this panel\, we will explore the transformative potential of integrating an intersectional feminist lens and perspective into various online discussions on social\, economic\, environmental and political challenges\, highlighting how intersectional feminism not only challenges patriarchy but also aims to dismantle all systems of oppression. \nPanel 4: From Silence to Story:Empowerment through personal stories and experiences \nSpeakers: Aya Mansour\, Gehad Hamdy (Speak up)\, Nidal Adham\, Salam Katatani \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nModerator: Elia Ghorbiya \nDuration: 90 minutes \nHuman stories encompass more than just individual experiences. They provide valuable insights into collective experiences\, shedding light on broader patterns of oppression\, exploitation\, resilience\, and triumph. Women’s stories foster empathy and understanding among individuals. They humanize the experiences of women\, \nallowing others to recognize the shared humanity and struggles across different backgrounds and cultures. Such stories have the potential to serve as catalysts for social change. When people hear and empathize with these stories\, it can inspire them to act and challenge existing power structures. Such narratives can help dismantle oppressive systems and work towards a more equitable society. \nThe panelists will be discussing how reflecting women’s stories and other marginalized individuals in the digital space contributes to a greater understanding of the multi-faceted challenges and obstacles they encounter due to societal norms\, biases\, and discrimination.

SUMMARY:Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Considering the growing influence of digital media on feminist and other progressive movements and vice-versa\, No2ta\, in partnership with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES)\, ABAAD\, and Open Society Foundation (OSF)\, is planning to organize the first regional feminist digital media conference that aims to bring together representatives of progressive online platforms\, feminist activists and journalists\, representatives of online feminist or progressive initiatives\, and representatives from the digital industry to discuss the ways in which digital media can be leveraged to create positive change. \nThis conference is a three-day event that features engaging panel discussions\, how-to workshops\, and a closed one-day meeting through which we aim to start a regional dialogue with feminists and other progressive actors on advancing feminist digital media and pave the way to create a network of progressive and feminist actors who can better organize and influence the narratives around feminist and social justice issues in the region.  Participants will be able to engage with like-minded individuals while also learning more about how to make their feminist content and messaging more intersectional\, relatable and engaging. (Register Now) \nPanels and workshops\nPanel 1: Feminist activism in online spaces and campaigns \nSpeakers: Rana Khoury\, Maya Ammar\, Bader Salem\, Aliaa Awada \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nModerator: Elham Barjas \nIn the dynamic era of digital media\, a lot of feminist campaigns have emerged\, with a powerful online presence. Some campaigns have been instrumental in driving shifts in social and cultural behavior\, while others managed to push for policy changes. On the other hand\, some campaigns have led to significant backlash and were accused of harming or diluting feminist causes rather than promoting them. \nThis panel aims to explore the factors that shape a successful feminist campaign and will look at the importance of balancing between the qualitative and quantitative results without compromising credibility\, values\, and messaging. It will be exploring limitations\, challenges and successes of online feminist campaigning efforts across the region and will offer tips on navigating obstacles posed by societal norms\, digital constraints\, and individual behavior. \n  \nPanel 2: Embracing Different tactics to influence online narrative. \nSpeakers: Amanda Abdallah\, feminist bil 3arabi\, Aya Mansour\, Ikram tweets \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nModerator: Maya Ammar \nAmidst the vibrant collection of feminist content\, we witness a captivating interplay of diversity and dynamism in the feminist approaches and tactics that are dynamic and representative of the creator’s positioning strategy. From humor to provocation\, feminist actors are creating unapologetic content that encourages critical thinking and reflection on gender inequality and patriarchal norms. \nIn this panel\, speakers will highlight the different feminist approaches and strategies that have emerged in today’s digital landscape\, each unique in addressing feminist issues and will explore the multifaceted nature of feminist content and the various ways to deliver it. \nThe discussion will tap into the best practices to follow to better address the different target segments we are talking to\, such as the informed audiences (activists\, for instance)\, women\, young girls\, the public\, policymakers\, and more. It will explore the most effective approaches and tone of voice that resonate with each specific audience\, ensuring that the feminist message is communicated in a way that is relatable\, impactful\, and inclusive. \nWorkshop: How To Create a Successful Podcast: \nFacilitator /Trainer: SOWT \nSowt\, Arabic for “voice”\, is an Arabic-language independent podcasting network based in Amman\, Jordan. It was launched in 2017 by Hazem Zureiqat\, Tarek Zureiqat\, and Ramsey Tesdell. Sowt curates and produces podcasts on issues of political\, social\, and cultural nature. \nDuration: 90 minutes \nFeminist podcasts have been on the rise in recent years because of the growing interest in feminist perspectives and the desire for a platform to discuss issues affecting women and marginalized communities. These feminist podcasts tackle a wide range of topics related to gender equality\, women’s rights\, gender-based violence\, workplace inequality\, sexual health\, reproductive rights\, intersectionality\, body positivity\, and many others. Other progressive podcasts have increasingly featured feminist voices to better analyze issues. With that said\, we will provide a how-to workshop on the best ways to create (feminist) podcasts for content creators to leverage this medium further. \nWorkshop: How To Utilize Gender-Transformative Language: \nFacilitator /Trainer: نحو وعي نسوي \nNahw Wa’i Nusawi (Toward Feminist Awareness) is an African queer feminist blog established in 2017. It provides a safe and liberating platform for discussing feminist issues within the context of intersecting systems of oppression. The blog aims to analyze and dismantle structures such as colonialism\, patriarchy\, heteronormativity\, capitalism\, racism\, and migration. It also seeks to archive feminist activism in the North Africa and Middle East region by sharing writings\, personal experiences\, translations\, and studies. The ultimate goal is to create alternative feminist knowledge and promote dialogue on women’s issues and gender identities. \nDuration: 90 minutes \nWhen creating feminist content that tackles sensitive issues like honor killing\, rape\, gender-based violence or even socio-political crises\, it’s crucial to use language that is carefully crafted and delicately phrased to ensure our messages are not compromised and that we are achieving gender-transformative change through the language we use. Intersectional feminist language is a vital tool that is able to dismantle stereotypes and showcase oppression and inequalities. Therefore\, this how-to workshop will focus on how content creators can better apply gender-transformative and intersectional feminist language in their work. \nPanel 3: Intersectional feminism as a tool for justice \nSpeakers: Souad Souilem \, Poala Daher \, Jeem \, Medfeminiswiyya (Maya Ammar) \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nModerator: Diana Moukalled \nIn this panel\, we will explore the transformative potential of integrating an intersectional feminist lens and perspective into various online discussions on social\, economic\, environmental and political challenges\, highlighting how intersectional feminism not only challenges patriarchy but also aims to dismantle all systems of oppression. \nThe discussion will involve compelling examples of how specific types of intersectional feminist content\, campaigns\, and movements have contributed to significant transformation towards gender or social justice while examining how some platforms\, pages\, and activists usually use intersectionality beyond traditional feminist/women’s issues. \n  \nLoading…
