Shifting landscapes: what we’ve learned from TICTeC – report launch
Over the past decade, mySociety has convened a global community with a shared interest in how digital tools can defend and advance democracy, via our TICTeC events and activities.
This new report draws on dozens of TICTeC presentations, and interviews with global civic technologists. The result? A practical framework for navigating different approaches to using technology in the service of democracy, bringing out examples of innovation, and guidance on how to use the best tools available. It’s designed to be a practical jumping-off point for practitioners and funders seeking to understand more about using digital technology to defend and advance democracy.
At this launch event, mySociety researchers shared key insights from the report, reflected on impacts of TICTeC initiatives, and discussed ideas of what’s needed next to protect and innovate democracy in a changing global context.
