In this Digital Citizen Engagement Community of Practice session, the goal of the session is to help civic leaders interested in fostering civic engagement by providing tools and strategies they can use on the ground.

We’ll be hosting a Digital Citizen Engagement Community of Practice reunion, where we will explore projects focused on citizen participation and decision-making and learn from each other’s experiences. Join and share with us examples, case studies, tools, and other innovative ideas that emerged from our context during the pandemic!

  • Civic tech & DCE practitioners
  • Non-profits activists
  • Community developers and grassroots organizations
  • Academics focused on DCE

 What are the Communities of Practice?

If you are new to the Communities of Practice (CoPs) concept, here’s a quick-to-the-point summary:

CoPs are about bringing network members, and organizations beyond the network, together to form groups and discuss common topics relevant to the civic tech ecosystem. This is an opportunity for network members to connect with not only each other, but with other organizations working on similar topics, such as practitioners, grassroots organizations, government champions, and academics that provide expertise to civic tech projects. Read more about the CoPs here.

The topics that are currently being focused on in our CoPs include:

  • Digital Citizen Engagement 
  • Good Governance 
  • Disinformation

If you haven’t already, fill in the form and join our Slack channel! We will be excited to keep up the conversation at our #disinformation#citizen-engagement, and #good-governance channel to keep up to date with the CoPs!
