From: "Andrea Figari" <and...@tacticaltech.org> Date: May 22, 2017 7:04 AM Subject: [ogp] Hello world + Event: Data Investigation Camp To: "OGP Civil Society community" <o...@dgroups.org> Cc: Dear members of the OGP Community, I have just joined the list. I work for the Tactical Technology Collective, based in Berlin, from where I lead a project looking at civic space and how technology and data influences our activism and right to freedom of assembly and association. We do training and workshops focusing on data and privacy but also on how technology can help people manage data, investigate and use it for their campaigning and evidence based advocacy. In this last area, I would like to share a call for applications for an event, the Data Investigation Camp -to take place in July, deadline on May 29. All the info and link for applications is below. ************ Tactical Tech has opened the call for applications for its first ever "Data Investigation Camp", for experienced evidence explorers, data critics and data storytellers working on social/political issues such as *corruption*, accountability and transparency, environmental and social justice, human rights, and abuses of power. Especially useful to organisations or people using data for evidence based campaigning. The event will take place from 19-24 July 2017 in an old port town in Montenegro. Applicants from all over the world are accepted -the deadline is May 29. Those selected will be eligible for funding of their costs. The Data Investigation Camp will bring 50 people together to focus on how we can use this data to understand and expose misconduct and abuses of power within a human rights, investigative journalism and anti-corruption framework. This event is specifically designed for participants who already have existing experience using data to tell stories and change narratives through proven and successful projects. We plan to share practical knowledge, techniques, methodologies, tools and skills on data investigations. From collecting to analysing to visualising data, we will look at working with closed and open, small and big, personal and public data. We will work together to explore new techniques, share skills, push boundaries and build on the existing knowledge, skill, and experience of our community while including new voices. Come with a project, get inspired by others and learn new skills and techniques. We will push the boundaries of data led evidence gathering, share practical techniques, spark friction, explore difficult dilemmas and build networks. More details and link to the application form can be found here https://tacticaltech.org/datacamp Please feel free to share! Remember, the deadline is May 29th.
