We are looking to partner with organisations, individuals or networks from the Latin America and Caribbean region (LAC) that would like to introduce and train communities on how to investigate and keep themselves secure. This can be done through testing, contextualizing and improving our Exposing the Invisible Kit and accompanying series of workshop curricula on investigative techniques and tools, both available in Spanish.
[CALL CLOSED]
Background
Tactical Tech’s Exposing the Invisible is looking for partners from Latin America who want to train communities on how to investigate and keep themselves secure. Our Exposing the Invisible team collaborates with experienced investigators from around the world to create resources for those who want to start their investigative journey and learn techniques of safely conducting digital and analogue investigations.
We have for example developed the Kit, a collaborative, self-learning resource that makes investigative techniques and tools used by experienced investigators accessible to everyone, and a series of workshop curricula for other trainers and organisations to teach these techniques to their audiences. All workshops as well as selected parts of the Kit are available in Spanish.
Partnership goals:
We would like to connect with partners, in order to use, share and adapt knowledge on investigative techniques and tools with their communities. We are looking for individuals, organisations or networks to partner with who would like to:
- Run events to introduce and contextualize the ETI Kit for their communities
- Run investigative workshops (using the ETI curricula)
- Contribute to improving our materials based on feedback from trainers and participants
- Outreach/distribute existing materials
- Create something new based on our resources (e.g. translation, adaptation, research, podcasts, videos, games, etc.)
Activities would need to take place between April and June 2023; final activity reports will be due no later than 15th July 2023.
