Talk 4 – Digital Innovation and community building
Sunday 11 October
Tactical Tech is an international NGO that engages with citizens and civil-society organisations to explore and mitigate the impacts of technology on society. Its techniques are informed by its cross-disciplinary expertise in political engagement and technology. Its methodology uses an iterative, design-based way of thinking, creating a continuous loop between ideas, testing and development. Its aim is to make the issues accessible – at times fun and at times challenging – but most importantly, to create interventions that make these issues relevant and accessible to their audiences.
