A few words from Filip from Meet in Mechelen to welcome TICTeC attendees to his city for the 2025 TICTeC conference.
Through the lens of climate action, we discussed the opportunities and challenges in using civic tech to encourage people to change and coordinate their behaviour in ways that can cause significant changes in society.
Globally, the civic tech community faces challenges from working in hostile environments, from facing everyday government resistance to operating in conflict and post-conflict societies. In this surgery, we discussed some of the common challenges and how we can support each other in solving them.
Produced thanks to a TICTeC Labs grant, this course provides users with a practical introduction to accessing good data and evaluating the quality of data. Available in French too: https://lms.opennorth.ca/catalog/info/id:195
