talking about equalinrights

A little bit about where I'm coming from...

I work for equalinrights, an NGO that initiates, facilitates and documents learning processes for upstream realisation of human rights in collaboration with human rights and development practitioners.

Utimately, we want to help people living in poverty and exclusion be able to better organise, strategise and act to assert their human rights. Our work helps build the capacity of practitioners, and ultimately communities, to translate human rights concepts into action for positive social change.

Since the practitioners we work with are pretty spread out geographically, we've been researching different free, online tools to use. We're already using Dgroups and skype, and have been testing out wikis and shared calendars, but there are lots of others out there.

So, I'm going to try to embed equalinrights' logo into the post. All I seem to have is our "watermark" version of the logo...actually, the old version, extracted from the website...

Ah, much better! Emma has sent me the file for the new logo via skype. So now I have updated this post.
