Practical Example 

If Human Rights are important? Why are Digital Rights important too? 

Divide the participants in groups of 3-4. Hand out a Flip Chart and markers to each group and invite them to create a Digital Rights “mind-map”. Write “Why are Digital Rights important” in the middle and note associations around it. 

After 10 minutes, stick the flip-charts to the wall and reflect on the different mind maps. What have participants noted? Did they make relations between Human Rights and Digital Rights? 

Make sure that the following is emphasized or added if not addressed by the group. 

Digital rights are important because they are part of Human Rights. The UN Human Rights Council and the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) both confirmed that the “same rights that people have offline must also be protected Online.”
