Totem for trainers How can digital security trainers use Totem effectively?

The Totem methodology

Since the project's inception in 2016, the Totem team has collaborated with a wide range of activists, digital security trainers and online education experts to develop a shared methodology and a process to help trainers create effective training curricula using the platform. We continue to support trainers that want to use our methodology to create new content and convert existing curricula into online courses targeted at activists or journalists.

Curated course collections

Totem gives trainers the ability to pick and choose from the various courses already offered on the platform to create a "collection" of courses that may be relevant topics for a specific activist group or community.

Curricula development workshops and sprints

The Totem team frequently organises workshops and sprints in collaboration with various activist groups, NGOs and journalists to jointly develop curricula for a specific community or context.

If you are a CSO, a digital security trainer, activist or journalist and wish to use Totem to host courses for your learners, please send us an email.
