On the idea of controls in the current society
Divide the whole team into say 5 groups and assign one material for each to read and to research on the topic then on fifth day they have to present the concept in the reading material in any form (it can be a small video, just express each one in the group, even a short poem; everyone in the group should participate in it). The day they present their work/ideas, there can be a discussion between the groups too to add their experience on the topic (moderator should not be biased on any topic and should be capable of initiating questions).

October 25: Introduction to Free Software
(2 days)
Concept of Free Software

not in a direct way- start from historical fights for free knowledge and then come to gnu projects story (a person who speaks with good clarity with appropriate words should handle this);
-
(Praveen) discuss about how software affects our lives - from medical devices connected to our bodies, electronic voting machines deciding our rulers, to big corporations influencing our behaviors and decisions by collecting our personal data and building personal profiles. So people who control these software can control our lives.
-
A film streaming and discussion: 'Batallie du libre' or 'internets own boy' or any other movie/documentary that can give thoughts on FS.
(7 days)
