About this session

Do you know what Tor is? How it works behind the scene?

This activity is presented in 2 parts. In the first one, you will learn what is Tor and how to distinguish what is a myth (there are lots!) and what is true. You will also learn the most important part: how to use it :wink: In the second part you will find out how Tor works behind the scenes through a very playful way: we will simulate a human onion routing :o

Goals of this session

Since Snowden’s revelation, people are increasingly alertness of tracking, surveillance, and censorship. Tor is an amazing tool, it protects people’s identity online allowing them to access critical resources, social media, and websites which were blocked, also circumvent censorship, safeguarding against mass surveillance from governments, companies, bad people, etc.

The goal is understand why Tor is such important tool that advances human rights and defend our privacy online through free software and open networks.
