## Project !Goals/Activities
|
|
|
The goal of this project is to advance the use of practical privacy tools in libraries and their communities through the development of a privacy-focused train-the-trainer program for librarians that we will call the Library Freedom Institute. This partnership between NYU and Library Freedom Project will build on LFP’s successful shorter training programs. The project team will construct extensive curriculum and use it to train 40 geographically dispersed privacy advocate librarians who will conduct privacy training workshops for community members in their region, help their own libraries to become more privacy conscious, and act as nodes of expertise for their region.

* Deliverable: We define success by what Library Freedom Institute brings back to local communities. We intend to generate dozens of mini-Library Freedom Projects across the US,led by librarians who have gained practical skills to use, deploy, and teach privacy tools, and can make those tools meaningful for local needs through library policies and teaching.
