10 Tactics News

Exploring how rights advocates use information and digital technology to create positive change

"I definitely plan to develop trainings with the 10 tactics pack. The video is a powerful way for us to explain why what we do is important and the cards will help us guide others through the choices they need to make to realise their projects and goals. Eventually, we'd like to adapt these materials into Arabic."
