We’re bringing the science, the tools, and plenty of room to practice to @mozilla.org Festival 2026 from October 28-30 in Barcelona.

Find us at Mimosa Workshop at 10:00 am CET on October 28 for “Hitting the wall in political conversations? Explore the art and science of bridging.”

On 10 July, we will be at the WSIS Champions Ceremony, where BunkWithKindness is being recognised as a WSIS Champion under the category “Ethical Dimensions of the Information Society"!

See you there! @hpanday.bsky.social @lonelydignity.bsky.social

Thank you to our supporters, well-wishers, and peers for believing in us, and for helping us move one step closer to a digitally thriving space!

You can explore our tool here: www.bunkwithkindness.dignityindifference.org.

At Dignity in Difference, BunkWithKindness is part of our larger work to understand what helps people bridge across difference online. We are building the models, evidence, tools, and practice to ask how we might show up more empathetically and kindly with each other in digital spaces.

We are deeply grateful to the jury, researchers, and partners of the Rebalance consortium. This award validates DiD's approach of pursuing systematic reforms to address the challenges of South Asia's information ecosystem.

Ask your friends, classmates, or neighbors in Nepal: What should Nepal’s interim administration do next?

That is why our community in Nepal has taken the lead in capturing every perspective with a stake in the country’s future. Already, a consensus has emerged: the interim government must be held accountable and prioritize delivering fair elections.
