During today’s webinar the winners of I4C's Global Civic Innovation Challenge were announced. Seven projects will receive $70,000 to test ideas to address closing civic space concerns within the seven Innovation Hubs around the world that support, strengthen, and sustain civil society. The projects will tackle a variety of problems with solutions including: - An open data set to raise awareness of violences against LGBT populations in Argentina; - A tool to increase fundraising for Latin American Civil Society; - The creation of an alternative medium of exchange where women can be honored and rewarded for being champions of change and more. The Challenge is a project of Innovation for Change, implemented by Counterpart International. You will be able to learn more about the winners on our website https://innovationforchange.net/en/aps/. ]]>

Mexicans and Guatemalans are increasingly turning to technology to fight their country's history of corruption, tainted elections and governance with technology ranging from a simple cellphone to anonymous whistleblower websites. Both countries notoriously non-transparent political scene has been plagued for decades by electoral fraud, dirty money, backroom deals and actual ballot-stealing. In recent years, a wide array of insurgent political forces and transparency activists have brought new information technology forces to bear on efforts to make elections freer, fairer and more transparent. These efforts vary in sophistication and this panel will showcase some of them. ]]>

Within the past few years ago the US State Dept’s eDiplomacy office has launched initiatives to increase citizen involvement in the government and develop civil society. Since 2010 35 events called TechCamps -- one to two day conferences – have been convened with about 2,850 participants across the globe, in which civil society organizations have worked on challenges and real world problems alongside international and local technologists to develop solutions, and the events connected these organizations to global networks of volunteer technologists. The Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS) program has given over 1,200 US college students the opportunity to to work with USG agencies without leaving home. The program has expanded since 2009 to 323 projects across 11 agencies in 2014-15, with 3,385 students applying. Following this success, State is launching the Virtual Fellows Program to recruit seasoned U.S. citizen professionals as virtual consultants on issues faced by State.

What kinds of experiences shape young people to be changemakers, people with the skills and commitment to “dare themselves to act” for positive social change? At Ashoka, we seek to spark a global movement where Everyone is a Changemaker. To achieve this vision, we partner with the most cutting-edge leaders with high-level global impact potential. The Fulbright program produces high caliber leaders by fostering cross-cultural understanding and action. We believe that to succeed in today’s world as a changemaker, everyone needs to learn these essential skills. In the current presentation you will hear from three Fulbright Alumni who all form part of Ashoka’s network of innovators. Through their own stories of social change, they shed light on how their Fulbright grants directly contributed to their dedication to creating experiences that unleash the power of young people to make a difference and succeed in our changing world.]]>

Hans Rosling, professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, recently stated that despite the wide availability of data in the world, there is a significant gap in local access to this knowledge. In this panel, experts in media development and mobile technology will discuss how information is shared in low-bandwidth environments. The panel will include case studies, interactive discussion about the sharing of news and information in areas of limited web connectivity, and tips on how to deal with issues of security, trust and safety. Examples include creative, interactive radio broadcasts; training and engagement of citizen journalists via SMS; and the challenges of maintaining data integrity in regions of high risk reporting. The session will end with a discussion of trending issues related to connectivity, such as offline participation in social media and the emergence of sensor networks. http://schedule.sxsw.com/2014/events/event_IAP25082]]>

0 The Habit of Care: Technologies of Living and Laboring Cyborgs /slideshow/habitof-care/27211006 habitofcare-131015110112-phpapp02
The Habit of Care: Technologies of Living and Laboring Cyborgs Within the larger discourse around digital cultures, much attention is given to care. Care infrastructure includes physical infrastructure of access to remote spaces, regulatory and policy environments to control the digital spaces, redesigned geographies to house the new populations created by the ICT industries, and is discussed in disciplines as varied as Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change. Care Technologies find obvious resonances with the Foucaultian idea of ‘Technologies of the Self’, reminding us of the normative nature of measurement, cognition, discipline and punishment that is an inherent part of care. The responses to Care Technologies and the Labor of Caring are not uniform. Some clearly identify the emergence of Care Technologies as a new form of alienation of labour, leading to discrimination and inequity. Others celebrate the ways in which the penetrative nature of the digital – from deep space probes to the sub-molecular conception of the human – allow us to imagine social interactions and our relationships with our own bodies in new ways. In all the discourse around Care, there is silence about its form, function and nature. While attention is given to infrastructure, labour, politics, production and the intelligibility of care practices, we haven’t yet tried to fathom the conditions and generation of care, relegating it to the realm of the private and the subjective. Combining practice and theory, in different parts of the Global South, and inspired by gender and sexuality studies, this panel looks at Care as a Habit. We focus on the ‘care of technologies’, showing how the forced separation of care and technology needs to be revisited to look at conditions of being human, being social and being political. Working through diverse geographical and political contexts, the panel illustrates the tensions in understanding and engaging with Care and why there is a need to find new vocabularies and relationships to deal with this area. The speakers in this panel specifically focus on the following themes: Care, Affect and Nationalism (Nishant Shah) Labor and Care (Yeonju Oh) Care, Spirit and Memory (Kara Andrade) Care and the Globalizing of “Subaltern” Labor through the politics of Micro and the production and circulation of affect (Radhika Gajjala)]]>

UNESCO estimates that of the 6,000 current languages spoken today, more than half will be extinct by the start of the next century, adding that "with the disappearance of unwritten and undocumented languages, humanity will lose not only a cultural wealth, but also important ancestral knowledge embedded, in particular, in indigenous languages." These languages require urgent intervention. In many remote locations, only a handful of speakers remain. There is also a growing movement where communities are recognizing the value of maintaining their native language despite internal and external pressures. Online media and web 2.0 tools hold immense possibilities for the inclusion of indigenous people in the online conversation and in democratic processes that start with the simple exercise of a person’s right to express themselves using the tools available to them. These tools have have a significant potential for cultural preservation and identity formation of young indigenous people.]]>
