# International Digital Rights

The goal of this page is to build a strong coalition of digital freedom advocates, with a specific focus on international intellectual property initiatives that impact national policies and laws and restrict users’ rights and impede access to knowledge. Our objective is to identify and cooperate with key local activists, to empower one another with strategies, resources, and tools, and to set an action plan for moving forward based on knowledge exchange, cooperation, and community building. The workshop will also be an opportunity for us to consider tactics specific to the concurrent New Zealand Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) negotiation round, and strategic planning for ongoing work on the core issues regarding copyright, freedom of expression, and activism within the TPP and similar initiatives.

### NZ Digital Rights Camp/Agenda|Agenda

The agenda will be divided in time slots for welcoming and methodology, presentation on core country concerns, working groups on "core concerns", and activism training.
Given the amount of topics we seek to cover during the two-day workshop, we have limited the duration of each of the "country" presentations to 30 minutes each. Therefore, we do not expect presenters to cover any of these issues at depth. We are hoping that the issues that you raise will open the door for further discussions moving forward, and for the groups to be able to identify common threats and potential areas of collaboration and resource sharing.
If more than one person from a country is interested in presenting, we will divide the time in 10 minutes slot, and be sure each of a presenter is focused in a different topic or audience concern. For instance, we will have folks from education and consumer rights from Australia. One presenter should focus on the barriers IP and trade agreements impose to education rights and the other on consumer rights, and so forth.
Soon, we will have a more complete agenda here.
