Well-Being Futures Track
Challenge 1: Fem-R
Project Idea: Dreaming of a Feminist and Anti-Racist Internet
Fem-R wants to host a nationwide debate on Dreaming of Feminist and Anti-Racist Internet in Finland - keep in mind that in Global South such conversations have taken a long time so this is an opportunity to also amplify the activist voices from the Global South and for Finland to learn from the Global South. How should the debate be organised and what platforms should be used? What should be the outcomes of the discussion and what would be different after the debate? How would we ensure an interdisciplinary approach in the conversations? Would debate itself be sufficient or can we magnify the scope?

Challenge 2: Naistenlinja / Turv@verkko
Project Idea: Supporting persons who have experienced Gender Based Online Harassment
The team providing the Turv@verkko services are struggling to fully reach the target audience that they want to help. What creative ways could you imagine utilising to spread the information about their offerings? There are no resources for large scale marketing campaigns.
Consider how we could motivate women and non-binary people who have experienced online harassment to use our services. What are their needs? What are their concerns?

Challenge 3: Fem-R
Project Idea: Sustainable Activism
How can we provide healing and support to those activists who suffer from digital violence that does not further burden an organisation that works on volunteer-basis? Could Fem-R perhaps offer training on how to navigate in online spaces or what to do when someone experiences hate speech?
Platforms like 4chan and Ylilauta where hate speech often brews are (unfortunately) gifted at organising hate speech campaigns: What can we learn from these platforms to mobilise support for those who experience hate speech in a similar manner?
