How we did it

Led by Abdo Hassan, this program consisted of a series of three collaborative workshops and resulted in a set of cards proposing ways of action, thoughts, and solutions.

Questions we unpacked:

What are the realms of activism as it relates to big data and AI?
What does data activism look like today? How do these tactics measure up against and alongside each other?
How can we best prototype and maintain an open-source guide to Everyday Data Activism?

What we made

We have published under the Creative Commons license the workshop plan, Miro board, and outputs for each of the workshop. We encourage the use and reuse of these workshops as a whole or in parts.
We went on IG Live to give everyone a glimpse of what’s been happening in this project and tell more about the toolkit created during the workshop sessions in this conversation between community member & interviewer Yifan Butsik and project lead Abdo.
Tune in to listen, and follow @dataactivism to see the toolkit and the further developments in the project.
