**This page will guide you** through the Module's correct use and understanding. Following the Learning Paths, with activities of varying depth, should allow participants to obtain a better grasp of the studied subjects.
### Learning paths For trainers/facilitators who are interested in any specific activity, you can use one or a few in combination. **We recommend beginning with a starter activity to open discussion and sharing by participants about their mobile phone experience and how gender, sexuality, race, class, ability, are related to and impact their experiences.** Some specific recommendations: For groups who are considering how to use mobiles for **documenting violence** we recommend the deepening activity [Documenting violence](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/508#bkmrk-page-title "Debate: Documentation of Violence") to open space for debate and discussion about challenges and opportunities of documenting violence and the tactical activity [Using mobiles for documenting violence: Planning and practicing](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/512#bkmrk-page-title "Using Mobiles for Documenting Violence: Planning and Practicing"). For groups who want to **use mobiles for communications for actions and organizing** we recommend the tactical activities including [Planning mobile comms](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/509#bkmrk-page-title "Planning Mobile Communications for Actions/Organizing") and [Back it up, lock it, delete it](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/510#bkmrk-page-title "Back it up! Lock it! Delete it! a.k.a. Someone took my mobile: Border crossings, arrests, seizure, theft."). For **participants using mobiles for online dating and sexting**, we recommend starter activity [Collecting phones](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/504#bkmrk-page-title "Collecting Phones") and tactical activities [Reboot your online dating safety](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/513#bkmrk-page-title "Reboot your online dating safety") and [Safer sexting](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/514#bkmrk-page-title "Safer sexting"). ### Learning activities #### Starter activities  - [Mobiles, intimacy, gendered access and safety](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/501#bkmrk-page-title "Mobiles, intimacy, gendered access and safety") - [Making a mobile timeline](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/502#bkmrk-page-title "Making a Mobile Timeline") - [Himalaya trekking](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/503#bkmrk-page-title "Himalaya Trekking") - [Collecting phones](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/504#bkmrk-page-title "Collecting Phones") - [Me and my mobile](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/505#bkmrk-page-title "Me and my Mobile") #### Deepening activities  - [Mobile power - device, account, service, state, policy](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/506#bkmrk-page-title "Mobile Power - Device, Account, Service, State, Policy") - [What is a phone?

Lock it! Delete it! a.k.a. Someone took my mobile: Border crossings, arrests, seizure, theft](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/510#bkmrk-page-title "Back it up! Lock it! Delete it! a.k.a. Someone took my mobile: Border crossings, arrests, seizure, theft.") - [Discussion, input + hands-on: Choosing mobile apps](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/511#bkmrk-page-title "Discussion, Input + Hands-on: Choosing Mobile Apps") - [Using mobiles for documenting violence: Planning and practicing](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/512#bkmrk-page-title "Using Mobiles for Documenting Violence: Planning and Practicing") - [Reboot your online dating safety](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/513#bkmrk-page-title "Reboot your online dating safety") - [Safer sexting](https://en.ftx.apc.org/link/514#bkmrk-page-title "Safer sexting") ### External and tool-based activities Where modules include practice and use of specific tools and software, we have linked to external resources. We do this for a few reasons: tool designs and features and security issues change frequently and so it is best for us to link out to resources that are updated frequently. ### Special note for mobile safety training It is very rare that all the participants in your workshop would have the same kind of mobile phone. It is a good idea to do hands-on in smaller groups: for iPhone users, for different versions of Android, and/or for feature phone users. ## Resources | Links | Further reading - Video for Change guides: [https://video4change.org/resource-categories/](https://video4change.org/resource-categories/) - Witness guides: [https://witness.org/resources/](https://witness.org/resources/) - Security in a Box: [https://securityinabox.org/en/](https://securityinabox.org/en/) - My Shadow resources: [https://myshadow.org/](https://myshadow.org/) \[Training resources are no longer available, but a guide on how to control our data is still available.\] - EFF's Surveillance Self Defense: : [https://ssd.eff.org/en](https://ssd.eff.org/en) ##### [](https://en.ftx.apc.org/uploads/images/gallery/2020-11/image-1605452256072.png)
