Objectives: • To consider our definitions and understanding of “digital” especially in the frame of campaigns • To learn from existing campaign projects who have effectively used digital tools. • To identify best practice and possibilities to adapt and replicate
• To consider risks and challenges as well as mistakes and pitfalls to avoid
• To think about where digital can play a role in campaign work and identify specific examples
• To scope the need for specific strategies or ways of working
In 2012, OneWorld has provided mapping technology for
COSCE’s field operations, enabling over 500 observers to send data directly from the field via text message, providing for the first time ever an initial indication of their findings in real time. It is important to note, of course, that this data is preliminary. The Coalition draws on this data as well as information received from other monitoring efforts and many other sources to make formal assessments of the voting process throughout and after Election Day.

Welcome to 10 Tactics Unstitched! This is a database of all the info-activism stories profiled in the original 10
Tactics film and cards and also those which we featured on the 10 Tactics website, 2010-2012.
Over the last two years, we have gathered a lot of feedback and evaluations from all kinds of people using 10 Tactics. From students and teachers to NGO staff and ICT and advocacy trainers, we've learned that 10 Tactics is a useful resource to explore and teach the field of information activism. We also learned that it would be really useful to have all the stories pulled out of the format they were in and served up in a new way.
So here we have opened out the cards and laid out the stories, images and videos in them for users to browse, download and remix. You can browse the 50 + examples, in this interactive database, either by tool/technique, country and the issue area the campaign addressed. The Campaign Basics cards, which include suggested hands-on group activities, are also now more easily accessible to integrate into trainings.
The reality of using digital
In a deployment using digital
set up technology/server, training on functionality, organising information flows, integrate other systems
outreach, branding, incentives, feedback, messaging, data collection, verification, multichannel approaches,
What do we mean by digital tools?
What are the Opportunities?
What are the risks?
Pros: Faster, more real time (can be more agile in embedding
feedback?) or make time critical judgements in accountability. Less data input.
Engaging communities geographically spread (or in fragile, hard to reach contexts), continue conversations and complement existing activities
Traceability Large data flows (searchable and analysable format ) Wider access if using tools in peoples hands.
Cons: Set up costs and investment, Who is excluded from contributing? What do you lose from face-to-face in data collection? Challenges
of self-reporting Data security concerns
