Tactical Tech - Investigation is Collaboration Camp - Call for Applications
by Mattias Axell 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

En inbjudan att ansöka till för den som är intresserad: https://tacticaltech.org/#/eti-camp-call-for-applications Join us for a 10-day camp in Costa Rica on 18-27 April 2020. We will work together on developing investigation resources as part of Tactical Tech's Exposing the Invisible Kit project. This is a collaborative, participatory event that includes knowledge sharing, joint research projects and coming up with new ideas and resources to help improve the work of civil society investigators worldwide. The outcomes will be used to advance the work of participants and their communities. In a nutshell Why? - To develop resources that turn investigation into an essential practice for citizens and communities to challenge the issues and problems that affect them. What? - A 10-day camp focused on evidence collection and evidence processing for those passionate about digital and field investigations. Who? - Evidence explorers, citizen investigators, journalists, researchers, developers, activists, artists and others working to uncover social and political issues such as corruption, environmental and social injustice, conflicts, human rights violations and abuses of power. When? - 18-27 April 2020 Where? - Costa Rica (exact location to be announced) Application deadline: 15 January 2020 (23:59 CET) Organizers: Tactical Tech in partnership with Cooperativa Sulá Batsú, TEDIC and Datos Protegidos. Costs: we can cover travel and living costs for a number of participants. What the camp is about Exposing the Invisible is a project that aims at equipping community and citizen investigators with tools, tactics and strategies that would increase the efficiency and efficacy of their investigations. Tactical Tech launched the Exposing the Invisible project in 2013 with one simple goal: to showcase investigations that happen beyond the realms of journalism and law enforcement. Since then, we have made a number of documentary films, recorded hours of interviews, collected and analysed tools and tactics, run several trainings and workshops and hosted two larger events -- a Data Investigation Camp in 2017 and an 'Investigation Kit' Residency in 2018, which was the starting point for the Exposing the Invisible Kit. The Kit is an extensive online resource launched in April 2019 that covers a wide range of topics related to evidence collection and verification. We are now looking to expand the Kit and facilitate more support to civil society investigators and curious-minded individuals by adapting/improving existing content and developing further resources. The camp aims to achieve this through four different tracks where participants can share and contribute: TRACK 1 - Expanding the Kit to include information processing, analysis and building evidence-based narratives We want to collaborate with like-minded investigators to provide more replicable techniques and tested practices to understand and use the information we collect for research and investigation. This track will address questions such as: How can we analyse and process information better? What stories can we tell from evidence and how can we make investigative stories or reports more effective? This track requires participants with demonstrated experience in working with information to build evidence that informs stories, reports, campaigns and other forms of delivering investigation findings to the public. TRACK 2 - Developing collaborative research and investigation projects We would like to encourage joint research and investigation projects to test methods, explore issues or help complete existing investigations that might benefit from collaboration or extra skills. We ask interested applicants to propose ongoing investigations in their application form. These should be projects that applicants have the intention of continuing and finalising during and/or after the camp. A key focus of this track will be to address questions like: How can we create reproducible investigation methods or methodologies to be applied in multiple contexts? How can we link investigations of seemingly isolated, local issues to global problems and debates? (think environment, corruption, human rights, migration, etc.) This track requires participants with a demonstrated passion for uncovering issues of public interest as well as those equipped with investigation and verification skills and experience. We will be actively working on planning and conducting collaborative research and investigations that may extend beyond the camp time. TRACK 3 - Making the Kit more useful The Exposing the Invisible Kit is written in a simple manner but changes are needed to make the content and methods more accessible and relevant for wider audiences in different regions and for different communities and skill levels. This requires simplifying and presenting existing content in new digital or physical formats with relevant examples that help with public dissemination and use. This track will experiment and test new ways to entice more people to 'consume' and apply investigative resources and content in a safe manner, with attention to elements such as localisation of content and examples, information redesign, providing an interactive experience, etc. This track requires participants with demonstrated experience in information design, content editing, data visualisation, localisation and adaptation of content to different regions (knowing local contexts, issues, needs), improving user experience, etc. TRACK 4 - Developing training curricula based on the Kit We would like to turn the content of the Exposing the Invisible Kit into research and safety training curricula that can be available to everyone wishing to run workshops on these topics. This will involve going through the content and developing learning plans, structures and exercises that would suit a training format. This track requires participants with demonstrated experience in turning narrative content into an interactive and engaging learning experience,designing and running workshops on topics related to research and investigations in different regions and across different audiences types and skill levels. *NOTE: Applicants should apply for one or maximum two tracks and have a proven record of working in areas relevant to the tracks (e.g. creating and designing resources, conducting investigations, writing guides for research and investigation, running workshops and creating course curricula etc relevant to the topics of the Kit, etc.) What we aim for Over the 10 days and across these four tracks, we will be exchanging knowledge and skills, developing ideas and new content on methods to verify, analyse and expose evidence. This camp aims to bring together experienced and motivated people to share, collect, test and document the most effective and innovative digital and non-digital tools and techniques we can use to safely research, understand and expose misconduct and abuses of power within a human rights, investigative research and anti-corruption framework. For our part, we will offer a unique environment where you can share, create and get inspired with the latest, best practices on effective research and investigations. We will look at experiences that can be replicated in other similar - or very different -- circumstances to process evidence, validate and aggregate data and information. We also want to explore completely new ways of using already documented tools and techniques, trying to push boundaries and innovate. Because dealing with evidence often places investigators, information and sources at risk, we will incorporate overviews of digital (and related physical) security risks and recommended safeguards across the work of all the four tracks. The aim of this event is to work together and produce material that can be used by a larger community, while giving authorship credits to all contributors under a Creative Commons license. Expect a collaborative, result-oriented experience full of exciting participatory sessions in a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. What to expect with logistics The camp is communal. We will take care of parts of the space and activities ourselves and we will not be relying heavily on external services. Please bear in mind that in our camps we have shared accommodation, which means that you may be sharing a room with one or two other people, unless there are individual conditions that prevent you from doing so. The camp will be split into the four tracks described above, which means a lot of small group activities and workshops. In addition, we will run plenary sessions, skill-sharing workshops for all and entertaining events to keep us all energized. We will structure the final schedule and sessions based on selected participants' skill sets and experience. Time commitment: we will be working for 6-8 hours a day. You will need to be free for the entire period between 18 and 27 April 2020 (including travel days) in order to attend. Please note that it is not possible to join for a portion of the camp only. Who should apply and why We are looking for motivated, experienced people from across the world with different backgrounds and skills who are interested in documenting and sharing their knowledge and findings on collecting, analysing and using digital and non-digital evidence in innovative ways. Consider applying if you are: a citizen journalist, activist, researcher, campaigner, data journalist, investigative journalist, developer, artist or rights advocate using digital and non-digital means to verify, analyze and aggregate data and information for social change. This means that you are already working on (or in the past have worked on) such processes and are mastering open-source tools and innovative techniques. You can be independent or affiliated with a group or organization working with evidence collection with NGOs, advocacy groups, lawyers, activists, or would like to combine your skills with input from such groups. a developer or technologist working with journalists, citizen journalists, NGOs, advocacy groups, activists with experience in digital and non-digital investigations. an information designer, graphic designer, filmmaker, artist, story teller or other digital and non-digital media practitioner already working on investigations from a social justice and rights issue perspective able to provide verifiable track record on any of the above. The residency will be a great chance to exchange ideas with peers and contribute to expanding resources that will be shared with a wide audience. At Tactical Tech we have over a decade of experience with producing cutting-edge, widely circulated projects involving guides and toolkits for civil society. How to apply To apply, please fill in this APPLICATION FORM by 15 January 2020 (23:59 CET) Applicants should apply for ideally one or maximum two tracks and have a proven record of working in areas relevant to the tracks (e.g. creating and designing resources, conducting investigations, writing guides for research and investigation, running workshops and creating course curricula etc relevant to the topics of the Kit, etc. *We will start informing shortlisted applicants from 20 January 2020.Applicants who did not make it on the shortlist will be informed in February 2020.

Vouchers till 36c3
by Patrik Wallstrom 20 Oct '19

20 Oct '19

Hej alla! Jag vet att intresset är stort för vouchers till 36c3, den stora CCC-kongressen i Leipzig som hålls under mellandagarna. Jag har nu fått ett antal vouchers, och vill nu ha intresseanmälningar så att jag kan dela ut dessa i någon form av ordning. Kan de som vet med sig att de ska till 36c3 maila mig, så ska jag se till att dessa delas ut. I år har jag inte fått några replikerande vouchers, men om intresset är stort kan jag fråga om jag kan få några extra vanliga vouchers. En voucher är inte en biljett, utan ett sätt att köpa en biljett redan nu, utan att behöva köa när biljetterna släpps helt fria.
