How is digitalisation affecting the future of protest, mobilisation and civil society actions around the globe?

In this interactive session, part of the Tech for Democracy Days of Action, we look at ways of creating a digital enabling environment to strengthen the voice of an active, positive and solutions-oriented civil society. From online learning for indigenous youth in Guatemala, to progressive digital policies in Taiwan or safe spaces for online activism in the Mauritius, we will hear directly from activists and civil society organisations who are redefining the way we approach digitalisation.

Together with participants, we will collect stories and experiences as part of the #Let’s Talk Digital campaign. The campaign is based on the findings of the “Towards an enabling digital environment for civil society” by Forus and TechSoup, which advocates for an inclusive, human-rights-based and democratic form of digitalisation that will empower and enable rather than restrict and repress.
