COCONET: Southeast Asia Digital Rights Camp 2017

On 21-27 October 2017, 105 digital rights experts, journalists, activists, artists, technologists, researchers and film-makers gathered in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, for COCONET: a Southeast Asia Digital Rights Camp.

COCONET is the abbreviation of 'connecting communities and networks'.

Participants converged from across Asia and the Pacific to share their knowledge, skills, tools, experiences and ideas about digital rights in a series of assemblies, open-space workshops, labs and evening activities.

Inspired by the discussions and newly established relationships at COCONET, participants are crosspollinating human-rights and social-movement gatherings with digital rights ideas.
