TICTeC Communities of Practice

After twenty years of mySociety, and ten years of TICTeC – we have been thinking about what is needed to match the big challenges of the next twenty years.

We are currently convening two global TICTeC Communities of Practice – one focused around Access to Information, and the other around Democratic Transparency.

These are a series of online workshops and seminars, bringing together practitioners in similar areas of work from across the world to raise questions that feed into our TICTeC conferences, and create spaces for both learning practical lessons that can be applied now, as well as long term reflection on our collective work.

Through these groups we are:

• creating and strengthening relationships between practitioners working in similar areas.
• allowing participants to share learning, dig deeper into thorny issues and have open, honest conversations
• helping the dissemination of knowledge and resources, including through the TICTeC conferences.

Working with the Civic Tech Field Guide, we are reaching out to a global range of organisations.

To find out more about these Communities of Practice (CoP), apply to join, and access resources from previous CoP meetings, see:

This project is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and we thank them for their support to bring the global civic tech and pro-democracy tech community together.
