Multilingual

PBI approached us to migrate the websites of their international network of Human Right Defenders almost 10 years ago, they adopted Drupal for their International Secretariat and most of their entities' websites on a GreenNet virtual server. We've built up a strong relationship as technical collaborators working with a range of FLOSS open source systems to support PBI's work.

In 2024 we relaunched PBI's online home with a Drupal upgrade that makes use of Multisite features to host sub-sites for PBI Country Groups and Field Projects within a single Drupal CMS, sharing architecture and visual design while enabling each PBI group to use their own domain name, and display location-specific information such as news, events and donations pages. The new website displays a responsive visual design created by Karen Beal, installed as a custom Drupal theme.

The site offers multilingual and translation tools so website visitors and editors can view sub-sites in multiple languages, depending on the location of the PBI entity and users' preferences. In the CMS back end we implemented clever content sharing and translation features that allow website editors in different locations to translate and syndicate content across their global network.

We rebuilt WRM's trusty multilingual WordPress in a brand new Drupal 8. WRM wanted a clean design and improved ways to edit their content and run their website.

We consulted Wave for visual design and worked closely with WRM colleagues internationally using our private jitsi channel for regular meeting with GreenNet devs and project manager in Spain and UK.

The website is hosted on GreenNet's ethically managed and sustainably powered servers.

GreenNet worked with UNESCO's SDG4 secretariat to build and host the online community and knowledge hub for the UN TES in September 2022. We used Drupal Social to create a space for discussions and knowledge sharing, using Drupal taxonomy to cross reference data and resources on strategic development goals. The development took place iteratively before during and after the summit, presenting videos and streams from the event as well as practical information for participants

The websito uses online translation into 40 languages. The country map is integrated into the UN website at https://www.un.org/en/transforming-education-summit/national-consultationscomm

Wave invited us to collaborate on a new website for the Non-negotiable campaign for corporate responsibility in Canada, run by the 40 member organizations of the Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability.

Wave created a custom design and GreenNet built and themed the site using WordPress CMS in French and English. The website is hosted on CNCA's servers.

UNESCO's Institute of Education Planning had a tight deadline to create an online version of their impact report.

We carried out this project at top speed, working closely with Wave and IIEP to put together an elegant website in Drupal 9, delivered on time and on budget, presenting a design featuring custom animations and icons as well as layouts and graphics to present complex information clearly and accessibly, bringing the online version of the IIEP's report to life as an interactive website, in 4 languages.

On 7 April 2021, World Health Day, we relaunched the UNESCO Health and Education Resource Centre, a knowledge sharing initiative provided by UNESCO for the education sector.

The library is a collection of more than 6,000 downloadable resources, evidence and research, policies and strategies, teaching and learning materials, and guidance and practical tools. It also presents news and webinars and updates about events from around the world. We implemented a faceted search that enables easy access to the library.

GreenNet responded to UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning's RFP to upgrade and rebrand their popular HIV Information Clearinghouse website with a proposal that included a custom redesign by wave.coop, and a full migration of the multilingual library contents from Drupal 7 to 8. We transferred their store of over 13,000 items of multilingual content using a staging site to connect with UNESCO’s server architecture.

The new HERC library is fully multilingual in 4 languages, it features a custom mobile responsive visual design created by Karen at wave, coded as a standards compliant Drupal theme by GreenNet developers.

We also worked with IIEP and wave on a neat supplementary microsite that sits alongside the HERC Library: UNESCO’s Comprehensive Sexuality Education Implementation Toolkit, using design and brand assets from the main site.

Caabu wanted to upgrade their main website from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8, the latest version with a full content migration of their extensive archives of news and campaigning materials into a new visual design.

We implemented Caabu's multilingual content in Arabic using Drupal's translation functions and a mobile responsive custom theme by Sarah macbeth that works both right-to-left and left-to-right.

Occasionally we are asked to help with campaigns where for reasons e.g. physical safety of activists, security and confidentiality is absolutely paramount - so we can't  tell you the URL or client's name in this case. Hopefully it would be pretty difficult to work out any connections.

The project aim is to gather news from sources within a group of states where press freedom is weak. Thesite is a multilingial repository for news - a blog in 6 (non-Latinate) languages, it aims to encourage whistleblowing by offering a secure confidential maildrop, and assures untraceability.

The site stores no records, and is protected by several layers of security and obfuscation measures. We partnered with deflect.ie to protect the site from DDOD or infiltration.

EDAL - the European Database of Asylum Law is an online database containing case law from 17 EU Member States interpreting refugee and asylum law.

This legal database project was made possible by a European Union grant to the Irish Refugee Council, and is now run by the European Council on Refugees and Exiles ECRE.

The idea was to create a central searchable archive of immigration case law summaries from 11 EU member  states which would allow for useful comparisons of cases across the countries according to a set of priority issues and provisions.

At its simplest the site provides a powerful search through hundreds of legal case law records. But for researchers who are engaged in comparative study there are numerous cross referencing features that allow you to check legal provisions and how they've been cited and made applicable across the member states.

The site also is also features multi-lingual content publishing for untranslated source content, a pdf converter tool for creating pdfs out of case law summaries, and a responsive design for accessing the site on mobile devices.

We began working with Right to Education team, based at Action Aid, in 2008. The original site was created as a home for the thinking of an educationalist called Tomascevski.

In 2013 The Right to Education team commissioned GreenNet to rebuild and redesign the site based on a simpler navigation with a single library to house all the resources. This new site is designed responsively and aims to feature new writings in the field and include success stories and guest blog posts.
