Recording of TICTeC gathering 'Beyond websites: How pro-democracy projects reach their audiences'

[Gemma Moulder]

Hi all,

Yesterday we gathered the TICTeC community online to hear how civic tech practitioners from across the world reach and engage their audiences. You can watch the recording of the presentations here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvJVCgBprwY 

• Ana Arevadze from ForSet in Georgia explained the care and attention that the organisation put into making sure that an election education campaign, delivered by influencers, was a learning experience for all involved. You can see her presentation slides here. 
• Ufuoma Oghuwu from Enough is Enough Nigeria outlined how the Shine Your Eye website provides citizens with information about their elected officials — something that’s often missing after the canvassing and electoral cycle has passed — and then described how that information has a life beyond the website, thanks to chatbots, WhatsApp and social media.
• Last but not least, Joseph Tahinduka of ParliamentWatch Uganda shared the fantastic efforts they go to to make parliamentary activity accessible to the social media generation, who so greatly prefer short videos to trawling through lengthy reports. 

Our next TICTeC event will be next Thursday 2nd October, and will bring together the Access to Information Community of Practice to discuss how we can effectively evaluate the implementation of Access to Information legislation. All are welcome! Here are the sign-up details. 

All the best,

Gemma.
