- Real-world case studies: We will examine how this model has spurred successful civic tech initiatives across Asia, with a particular emphasis on:
- Tackling disinformation: explore how g0v projects have effectively combated misinformation, while promoting digital literacy and critical thinking skills among citizens. We will analyse specific strategies, tools, and tactics.
- Empowering the next generation: learn about g0v’s initiatives that focus on engaging and empowering young people to become active participants in the community. We will discuss strategies for inspiring and mentoring the next generation of civic tech leaders, and explore ways to create inclusive and accessible opportunities for youth involvement.
- Hands-on action planning: engage in interactive brainstorming sessions and collaborative exercises to refine participants’ ideas.
With a focus on collaboration, open-source tools, and user-centered design, participants will receive guidance and feedback from experienced facilitators and fellow participants, and have the opportunity to build valuable connections with each other.
- Shaping the future of civic tech: participate in a dynamic and forward-looking discussion on the emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities.
We will explore the evolving technological landscape, the changing needs of citizens, and the potential for civic tech to address pressing social and political issues.
This workshop will not only enhance the participants’ understanding and skills but also contribute to the collective knowledge of the civic tech community. The insights, project ideas, and feedback will be incorporated into future versions of the handbook, ensuring that the participants’ voice and experiences help shape the future of the movement.
