TavaanaTech is a project dedicated to supporting internet users facing censorship and online restrictions. It provides reliable tools, such as secure VPNs and anti-censorship technologies, helping users bypass filters and maintain their online security. TavaanaTech keeps its audience updated through various social platforms like Facebook, Telegram, and Twitter, and regularly shares the latest versions of VPNs and censorship circumvention tools via the Beshkan service. Our mission is to empower individuals in restricted online environments by providing the tools and knowledge needed to bypass censorship, protect their privacy, and ensure secure access to the free internet.

The “Dialogue” project hosts a collection of resources from the Tavaana Institute, aimed at promoting a culture of tolerance, pluralism, religious freedom, and the appreciation and respect for differences. Our educational content is available on our website, as well as across our social media platforms
The “Tolerance” Project works to promote a culture of tolerance, pluralism, religious freedom, and respect for diversity. In line with these values, the Tolerance Project educates its audience from Iran, the Middle East, and North Africa on issues such as genocide, torture, and persecution in Arabic, Persian, and English. It serves as a source of inspiration for pluralism, awareness, religious freedom, and the recognition of differences among citizens. Through a diverse range of educational resources in Arabic, Persian, and English, the project emphasizes the role of every individual in combating hate and highlights the benefits of living in a tolerant society. By focusing on education, the Tolerance Project seeks to prevent persecution and genocide while nurturing the seeds of a sustainable and diverse society throughout the broader Middle East.

The E-Collaborative for Civic Education (ECCE) is a U.S. based 501c3 organization with a mission to leverage technology to promote civic learning and democratic political life internationally. Through live e-learning platforms, social networks, mobile phones, television, radio and more, ECCE helps empower civil society groups by arming them with democratic knowledge and human rights awareness. The assumption guiding our vision is that individuals committed to democratic values, the rule of law, and the full spectrum of civil and political liberties are likely not only to press for their freedom but build the civil and political institutions that will sustain democracy and human rights….
The E-Collaborative for Civic Education’s goals are to link the worlds of academia and practical learning, to bridge the knowledge and technology divides between civic actors working in free and unfree contexts, and to compensate for the ideological, rote learning forced in places such as Iran with engaging, international standard civic literacy initiatives. We believe strongly in the power of partnership, and see technology as facilitating collaboration in ways that transcend all manner of boundaries. Our partners include courageous, civic-minded women and men fighting against repression across the globe, as well as international organizations such as: the Center for Civic Education/CIVITAS, the Albert Shanker Institute, Mobile Active, and the New Tactics in Human Rights Project. Our teaching faculty includes the world’s leading experts in human rights, democracy and civil society.
