This year we are planning a series of webinars and are busy putting the finishing touches to organising our first, which explores the experience of Palestinians on social media who are all too often censored for their posts.
We are delighted to announce our two guest speakers, Nadim Nashif and Mona Shtaya, both of 7amleh – The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media
