The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) in partnership with the CYRILLA Collaborative is delighted to organise Internet Rules: Unboxing digital laws in Southeast Asia, 2023!

Internet Rules is a unique capacity building opportunity for young digital rights defenders to enhance their skills for understanding and analysing laws and case laws governing online spaces and technology. We seek to provide this platform for young lawyers, activists, researchers and policy workers from Southeast Asia to sharpen their skills in advocating for rights-compliant digital laws, including through the use of the CYRILLA database.

The workshop creates an opportunity for participants to engage with experts and practitioners currently working to improve digital laws and to network with fellow digital rights defenders while building their capacity to impact change at the national, regional and international level.

The four-day workshop will be held on a virtual platform from 30 October to 2 November 2023.

We aim to hold a space that will allow participants to:

  • Enhance their understanding of a rights-based perspective of digital laws in Southeast Asia. 

  • Gain tools and resources on digital laws and jurisprudence to aid in research and advocacy.

  • Build relationships with peers for greater collaboration. 

If this is of interest to you or others in your network, we request that you submit your applications by filling out this form by 20 September 2023. We will be able to accommodate a total of 25 participants.
