98Understanding and setting up email encryption sounds like a daunting task
99to many people. That's why helping your friends with GnuPG plays such an
100important role in helping spread encryption. Even if only one person shows
101up, that's still one more person using encryption who wasn't before. You have
102the power to help your friends keep their digital love letters private, and
103teach them about the importance of free software. If you use GnuPG to send and
104receive encrypted email, you're a perfect candidate for leading a workshop!</p>

121<h2><em>#1</em> Get your friends or community interested </h2>
122
123<p>If you hear friends grumbling about their lack of privacy, ask them if
124they're interested in attending a workshop on Email Self-Defense. If your
125friends don't grumble about privacy, they may need some convincing. You might
126even hear the classic "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to
127fear" argument against using encryption.</p>
128
129<p>Here are some talking points you can use to help explain why it's worth
130it to learn GnuPG. Mix and match whichever you think will make sense to
131your community:</p>

146<p>Each person who chooses to resist mass surveillance with encryption makes
147it easier for others to resist as well. People normalizing the use of strong
148encryption has multiple powerful effects: it means those who need privacy
149the most, like potential whistle-blowers and activists, are more likely to
150learn about encryption. More people using encryption for more things also
151makes it harder for surveillance systems to single out those that can't

205<h2><em>#2</em> Plan The Workshop</h2>
206
207<p>Once you've got at least one interested friend, pick a date and start
208planning out the workshop. Tell participants to bring their computer and
209ID (for signing each other's keys). If you'd like to make it easy for the
210participants to use Diceware for choosing passwords, get a pack of dice
211beforehand. Make sure the location you select has an easily accessible
212Internet connection, and make backup plans in case the connection stops
213working on the day of the workshop. Libraries, coffee shops, and community
214centers make great locations. Try to get all the participants to set up
215an Enigmail-compatible email client before the event. Direct them to their
216email provider's IT department or help page if they run into errors.</p>
217
218<p>Estimate that the workshop will take at least forty minutes plus ten minutes
219for each participant. Plan extra time for questions and technical glitches.</p>
220
221<p>The success of the workshop requires understanding and catering to
222the unique backgrounds and needs of each group of participants. Workshops
223should stay small, so that each participant receives more individualized
224instruction. If more than a handful of people want to participate, keep the
225facilitator to participant ratio high by recruiting more facilitators, or by
226facilitating multiple workshops. Small workshops among friends work great!</p>

TG
240<p>Work through the Email Self-Defense guide a step at a time as a group. Talk
241about the steps in detail, but make sure not to overload the participants
242with minutia. Pitch the bulk of your instructions to the least tech-savvy
243participants. Make sure all the participants complete each step before the
244group moves on to the next one. Consider facilitating secondary workshops
245afterwards for people that had trouble grasping the concepts, or those that
246grasped them quickly and want to learn more.</p>

250they can immediately download each other's keys later (sometimes
251there is a delay in synchronization between keyservers). During <a
252href="index.html#section3">Section 3</a>, give the participants the option to
253send test messages to each other instead of or as well as Edward. Similarly,
254in <a href="index.html#section4">Section 4</a>, encourage the participants
255to sign each other's keys. At the end, make sure to remind people to safely
256back up their revocation certificates.</p>
