PROGRAM
Finding novel solutions to promote digital democracy and uphold a democratic online space for all
The Digital Democracy Challenge seeks innovative, low-cost, and viable digital solutions to uphold civic and democratic public space when the rights to freedom of expression and association are restricted. The project seeks digital solutions to keep the democratic space alive, maintain a space for dialogue and ideas, and provide first-hand accounts of government activities.
Be part of a global hackathon!
The program calls on socially committed citizens worldwide, problem solvers, creative minds, democracy experts, programmers, graphic and web designers to come together in a 72-hour collaborative digital process. The process will finish on a Demo Day where the participants will pitch in front of a jury.
Technology has facilitated inclusive participation far beyond any other means of communication. It has also served to promote democracy and expand citizen participation while also reaching people who have been left out of democratic processes. Hence, it is vitally important that we come together to develop innovative solutions and contribute to furthering Goal 16 of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program comes at the forefront of finding novel solutions to promote digital democracy and uphold a democratic and civic space.
