Hacking Creativity: Art, Disruption and Artivism for Digital Freedom feat. Tatiana Bazzichelli (Disruption Network Lab)

The Closing Ceremony of the Digital Activism Accelerator marks the culmination of a year-long journey for 71 civil society organizations (CSOs) from 12 CEE countries in the Visegrad, the Baltics, the Black Sea, and the Western Balkans.

Across the world, civil society is facing growing challenges—shrinking civic space, the rapid spread of disinformation, and the increasing influence of digital threats. These pressures undermine democracy, social justice, and human rights, making it essential for civil society actors to be equipped with the knowledge, tools, and networks they need to continue their work effectively.

Data is all around us and with us, almost every moment of our life. In the digital age, we produce and use vast amounts of data. Does data mirror society and its complexity? Can the digital world offer hope for alternative solutions to inequality?

Imagine this moment but without the internet. It is impossible, as you are reading this online, right? Have you ever wondered what the “insides” of the internet look like? How is data stored and how is the internet transmitted? Or what consequences does it have for the environment?

CSOs in the Western Balkans, Black Sea, Baltic and Visegrad regions are both the targets of and vanguard against regionalised disinformation landscapes.

We live in multilayered, complicated, and complex times. The ambivalence and ambiguity of the world have never been so visible on a daily basis. Alongside growth, development, and positive societal changes, we also observe rising inequalities, human rights violations, and social problems.

In an era where disinformation is a persistent threat to democratic societies, understanding its complex and evolving nature is crucial for the resilience of civil society organizations (CSOs) and the wider society.

The Ukraine Solidarity Response Initiative (USRI) was born out of a critical need to fight the rampant disinformation related to the war in Ukraine after full invasion in 2022.

The first step in countering disinformation is to know the disinformation landscape, its actors, and narratives. Therefore, social media listening tools are essential for activists and organizations committed to protecting truth online. Learn how to harness these powerful tools to detect, analyze, and counter false narratives effectively.

Climate change stands as one of the greatest challenges facing contemporary activism. This interdisciplinary, multi-level problem engages hundreds of thousands of activists and non-governmental organizations worldwide. In 2019, global climate movements such as Extinction Rebellion and Fridays For Future catalyzed a worldwide mobilization and unprecedented awareness of climate change. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, the scope and significance of the climate fight have gained additional urgency.
