[ddj] Citizen Engagement with Open Government Data

Wed Jul 3 11:03:32 UTC 2019

Hello Arie

In Colombia we at Datasketch (http://datasketch.co) work on several
initiatives for citizen engagement involving open government data:
- The Corruptour <https://corruptour.datasketch.co/> in partnership with
Transparency International. A sightseeing tour to talk about the most
iconic corruption cases in Bogota and other cities. Some mentions here in
french

.
- During the 2018 FIFA world cup we launched a Social Media Campaign with
other organizations in Argentina and Peru to talk about gender equality.
Mention here in english

.
- We also used open data to talk about femicides

in Colombia and worked with an NGO to present 20.000 signatures to the
ministry of interior.

We could share a few more examples if interested. Best
