We presented at the MobileActive 08 Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa about the use of mobile phones by members of the Burmese democracy movement around Burma’s borders. Our “mini-talk” covered issues having to do with cross-border movement strategies against Authoritarian Regimes.

Read what one blogger had to say about our session.

Videographer Rhoda Davids captured us in this short video, featured on the MobileActive website, during which we explained the points we raised in our “mini-talk” as well as our project in-brief. [Check us out](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeRepqn4rNs&feature=user )!
