Agenda	- Prior interview to understand the strategies and resources which are being used to organize or for documentation - Conversation about the current state of policy around surveillance locally and internationally. What are the risks? How do they perceive the landscape? - Run through a personal risk assessment. - Run through tools available, which may be useful, which may be not practical, which are strategic on an individual level, and which on an organisational level. - One on one installation and explanation of tools, with practice.
Methodologies	Mostly listening and being aware of local context and needs of each individual.
Resources	Resources compiled from SIAB, EFF and Witness.
Gendersec	Security in the box

Feelings	Felt very good to talk through individuals existing methodologies, felt I learnt as much from them as I was able to transmt.
Feedbacks	People were very open about the fact that they did not think too much about surveillance but it was clear to them that things were happening. Some of the tools seemed to be more useful than others in the follow up.
Start	Focus on Text Secure and GPG/ autonomous mails, as they seem to be the tools with most continued usage.
Stop	Being afraid to take the "teaching" or "expert" role. It does seem to help in some occasions, although it has definitely got limits .
Keep	Keep researching autonomous servers, feminist online libraries and other feminist approaches to tech, such as "making your own sex toys" as these were issues that have been brought up as wanted workshops.
