Digital activists from South Sudan visiting Berlin for re:publica

/          PRESS RELEASE: On the road back to peace and unity in the world’s newest nation, r0g_agency for open culture and critical transformation gGmbH is proud to introduce three social activist colleagues from South Sudan.
Much of r0g_agency’s current work is dedicated to civil society action and peacebuilding in South Sudan with initiatives such as the #defyhatenow campaign against social media hate speech and online incitement to violence, as well as working with young, dedicated local people to support the development of jHUB – South Sudan’s first media and innovation hub.

R0g_agency‘s special guests offer a first-hand glimpse of South Sudan’s current situation

viewing the chances for peace and the development of an open civil society from three unique perspectives.
As members of the Global Innovation Gathering (GIG) all three will also actively participate in the 10th edition of re:publica – one of the world’s leading conferences on society and digital culture (2-4 May).
Mbisimo Emmanuel Victor is a 23-year-old South Sudanese national who graduated in the field of Information Technology in Bugema University.

As a young enthusiast who likes doing things by his own and like learning new skills every day, he takes the initiative to improve on his web and app development career.
As such he’s also interested in blogging, to participate in educational forums and social networking platforms and deliver sound commentaries, unbiased opinions and non-destructive views.
