Applications to join TICTeC Action Lab #2 now open

[Gemma Moulder]

Hello everyone, 

Do you fancy collaborating with others to help the civic tech community address common accessibility challenges?

As part of mySociety's TICTeC Labs programme, last week we convened a Civic Tech Surgery that brought together a group of around 100 civic tech practitioners and researchers from across the world to discuss common challenges of ensuring civic tech is accessible, as well as possible solutions to these.

You can find resources from this Civic Tech Surgery here, including minutes, a Padlet of contributions, and the full recording.

To carry on the Surgery's momentum, we are now convening an Action Lab (aka working group) of up to 6 individuals, who will work together to commission a piece of work that will be useful to tackle the issues raised in the above Civic Tech Surgery, to answer this question:

What would help the global civic tech community to address common accessibility challenges?

We're pleased to say that applications to join this Action Lab are now open, and we would like to invite those interested in working with others to tackle the above to apply.

You can apply to join the group by filling in this form by the end of 4 March 2022, and you can find further details about the Action Lab here.

Funding will be available to those who apply to produce the piece of work identified by the Action Lab. 

We hope this is of interest! Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

All the best

Gemma.
