How to participate and contribute
Beyond financial support, many contributors provide immaterial expertise and practical help. This includes sharing photographs and footage for our website and outreach, providing technology licences or know-how, mentoring students, or volunteering to coordinate sub-projects. Such contributions are often decisive: they expand our capabilities, accelerate progress and reinforce the collaborative character of Redes Fantasma.

Better pictures help tell better stories.
