WHEN?

Day 1: 15h00-16h30

DESCRIPTION

In this workshop we invite future and action oriented discussion by summing up and presenting main learnings and outcomes of the Open4Citizens project, that has run through 2016-2018 in five European locations; exploring how best to empower citizens to make sense of open data. In the workshop we aim to cross-examine our insights and the tools/strategies developed in a diverse discussion across design practice, data expertise, digital innovation and open data advancement.

WE WILL DISCUSS

• The conditions needed to raise citizens awareness of the potential of open data as a new resource
• Strategies to engage citizens in co-creating new solutions with data
• The challenges for such participatory initiatives
• The conditions for ensuring that high-level political strategies around data can be translated into real-life, everyday social impact
