6 years ago @BaliMaha Hi and thanks for your proposal!
The openness team is reviewing proposals at the minute and we were wondering - was there any particular reason you chose Openness over, say, digital inclusion?
Thanks!

6 years ago Dear Yo
Thanks for your question.
We had originally thought of both openness and digital inclusion. Your application asked for a primary and a secondary space, and this made us think.
We strive towards inclusion, but as critical educators, we recognize achieving this will always be a work in progress. Therefore our project uses open educational approaches to strive towards inclusion - and we will reflect on the extent to which we achieve it with our students and MozFest participants.
I hope this helps?

What will happen in your session?
Equity Unbound (#unboundeq), is an equity-focused, open, connected, intercultural curriculum that builds critical digital literacies in a global context, highlighting issues of web representation, digital colonialism and safety/security risks. Educators from Egypt, Ireland and US developed this with the motto “the only way to make borders meaningless is to keep insisting on crossing them” (Lina Mounzer). Participants will engage with the question, “what does equity mean for the open web?” and we will curate written and/or multimodal responses online. We also encourage participants to experience some of the online activities we have developed, including: collaborative annotation using Hypothes.is, social network conversations, Wikipedia edit-a-thon, collaborative multimedia making and creating new learning activities (inspired by DS106).
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
participants will have interrogated their conceptions of what equity means for the open web, and experienced some of these (they can choose the ones they are most interested in). Our Equity Unbound gallery contribution at Mozfest will also result in a digital artifact - a crowdsourced collaborative conversation about intercultural connected learning and equity on the open web. We hope participants will give us feedback on how to improve upon our curriculum, and participants who choose to will have contributed their own activities to our “activity bank”. Everyone is welcome to reuse, remix or repurpose our openly-licensed activities in their own educational or training context.
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
We will just probably need good wifi [please note re stipend below that not all of us need it]
Time needed
All weekend, as an installation, exhibit or drop-in session
