In a situation where information chaos is increasing faster than the number of media and digital literacy trainers, it is crucial to find new ways to quickly impart necessary knowledge and skills to people. One option is collaborating with existing networks and communities to reach a broader audience.

Diana Poudel will provide an overview of various theories that could assist in planning such cooperation and will share her experiences on how she has reached new audiences through different civic initiatives and networks.
