This session will show how social issues, civic technologies, and on-site activities can converge and create new ways of civic engagement to raise awareness and empower people through campaign and activism tools. In this interactive workshop based on experiences from change agents in Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina, participants will have the opportunity to explore different perspectives, strategies, and tech tools to mobilize citizens so they can transform their interaction with democracy.
