Hello,
Happy holidays on behalf of the Engineering for Change team!
My name is Erin Peiffer, and I am Research Manager at Engineering for Change
<https://www.engineeringforchange.org/>. As usual at this time of the year,
we wanted to share the E4C Fellowship opportunity for your students for
2022. Applications for the E4C Research Fellowship
<https://www.engineeringforchange.org/e4c-fellowship-summer-2022-apply> for
the Summer 2022 Cohort are now open until Jan 31st, 2022.
Find details about the program for you to share with your students or

soft skills, and connect with international mentors and peers from all
continents, this Fellowship offers leadership development opportunities
that prepare the next generation of technical professionals to reach their
fullest potential and deliver solutions that achieve the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals.
E4C Fellows expand their understanding of the sector through targeted
research or design, analysis, and engagement with the E4C community of
experts. E4C Fellows are matched with Impact Projects
<https://www.engineeringforchange.org/impact-projects/> sponsored by
mission-aligned organizations, gaining ample professional development
opportunities during the Fellowship and beyond through E4C’s Alumni
Network. Fellows will have the opportunity to advance their career path
through 400+ hours of research or design, 30 hours of online networking
opportunities with their peers and experts advisors, and 30 hours of
Learning Modules designed to advance their knowledge in the sector.
The program starts in May and finishes in September 2022. It’s a part-time

Subject: CFP: CHI 2022 workshop on "Integrating Religion, Faith, and
Spirituality in HCI"
To: <chi-Announcements(a)acm.org>
Cc: Ishtiaque Ahmed <ishtiaque(a)cs.toronto.edu>
Dear Colleagues,
We are a group of HCI researchers interested in faith, religion, and
spirituality, and their various connections to and implications for
computing, design, and modern life. To advance this scholarship in
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), we are organizing a workshop titled
“integrating faith, religion, and spirituality in HCI” at the ACM CHI
Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2022). We invite you
to participate in this workshop by submitting your position papers. We are
accepting papers in the following three themes:
-
Secularization and Computing: How secularization in computing
marginalizes, misfits, or conflicts with faith-based values?
-
Designing for Faith-based Communities: How can HCI design address the
unique needs and values of faith-based communities?
-
Integrating Faith/Spirituality in HCI Domains: How can scholarship and
practice in HCI benefit through the integration of faith, religion, and
spirituality?
The first submission deadline is on January 24, 2022, and the second
deadline is on March 7, 2022. We will invite a set of papers from the first
round to be submitted to an upcoming special issue of ACM Interactions that
we are going to guest-edit.
We will host a virtual event on April 13, 2022. If CHI 2022 happens in
person, we will also hold an in-person event on April 30, 2022.
For more details, please visit our website here:

We look forward to your fantastic work!

Subject: [gaia] Routing for Communities film festival - 3 December
To: gaia <gaia(a)irtf.org>
Dear all,
The Local Networks (LocNet) initiative, led by APC in partnership with
Rhizomatica, is pleased to invite you to the *Routing for Communities film
festival*, an online screening of short films about community networks and
people decentralising the internet for change. Taking place on *3 December
(Friday)*, the film festival offers the opportunity to see a series of
creative and inspiring short videos produced by communities in Africa, Asia
and Latin America.
We will be publicly screening for the first time a series of short films
made by communities and organisations, after a process of feedback and
exchange with the LocNet initiative for the past few years. We will also
present films made by APC members and LocNet partners on diverse
experiences with community networks. The films capture the different
contexts and initiatives of community networks around the world, exploring
both the challenges and joys of their work, and also the relationship
between the right to communication through access to communications
technologies and other fundamental rights and ways of living.
Please join us on 3 December, when 12 short films will be presented in two
screening sessions of six videos each, aimed at covering different time
zones: one at 9:00 UTC and another at 14:00 UTC. The sessions will also
open up the opportunity for a Q&A with the filmmakers and/or community
members involved in the production of the films.
*Save the date and register to attend here:*
- Session 1 - 9:00 UTC

We will use the email registered and the APC website
<https://www.apc.org/en/node/37784/> to provide further information on the
films being screened.
*About the Local Networks (LocNet) initiative*
Led by APC in partnership with Rhizomatica, LocNet aims to directly support
the work of community networks and contribute to an enabling ecosystem for
the emergence and growth of community-based connectivity activities in the
global South. Support for the production of some of the films and the film
festival was made possible through funding from the Swedish International
Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) as part of the project "Connecting
the unconnected: Supporting community networks and other community-based
connectivity initiatives".
