[OKFN-FR] Fwd: Data Expedition: Tax Avoidance and Evasion – 6th June - Open Knowledge Foundation Blog

Mon May 27 18:43:47 UTC 2013

Bonjour,

la prochaine data expedition de School of data porte sur un sujet bouillant
en France : l'évasion fiscale.

Est-ce qu'il y a des volontaires pour constituer une team française ? Pour
ma part, ce ne sera pas possible le 6 juin.

C'est un beau projet qui pourrait avoir un impact important en France.

Want to dig deep into tax avoidance and evasion? We have gathered a wide
range of data on this sensitive topic and for one afternoon we we’ll guide
you through some of the key decisions to think about when writing a story
on the topics. With *tax evasion *and *tax avoidance* currently such a hot
topic in the media, it’s crucial that people can understand the difference
between the two terms as well as the mechanisms by which they happen.

When: Thursday June 6th – 12:00 BST to 17:00 BST – link to your
timezone<http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Data+Expedition+from+School+of+Data%3A+Mapping+the+Garment+Factories&iso=20130525T12&p1=136>

We’ll be looking for projects such as:

   -

   Exploring the tax avoidance schemes used by Apple, Google, Amazon, or
   Starbucks
    -

   Looking at data gathered by tax collection authorities and patterns of
   avoidance that emerge from that dataset
    -

   Creating a “most wanted” list tax evaders for future research
    - Your project here!

Sign up here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1p-3Bqr3MkIQZ_VoQqed7OKoAfmoYZffZaJ32HdLHNRE/viewform>for
the Data Expedition!

Please note that limited space is available. For more information about the
Data Expedition format, we encourage you to
read<http://schoolofdata.org/data-expeditions/>this article.
How can I participate?

To get involved either:

   -

   *Lead a team! (*Up to 6 hours) Are you able to help to coordinate a team
   on the day? This involves, helping your team to understand the options and
   research that has been conducted and starting a discussion about the choice
   of story and how to construct a plan for making the story happen. The
   School of Data team will hold a specific hangout for team leads on Monday
   3rd June at 12:00 BST to prepare for Thursday’s activities. Please email
   schoolofdata [at] okfn.org if you are interested in getting involved.
    -

   * Offer an expert introduction!* (Up to one hour) We’re looking for
   experts who understand the loopholes or tactics used by companies in
   different countries to offer quick introductions from 5-30 mins long to get
   the expedition started.
    -

   *Join us as a participant on the day!* (3-6 hours) You will need to be
   prepared to brainstorm ideas with others in your group and ultimately
   explain your choice of story. There will be two roles you can take on the
   day – either getting stuck into the data (analyst) or writing (storyteller).

Aims of the expedition

We will aim to give people:

   - A clear understanding of the difference between tax evasion and tax
   avoidance
   - An key understanding of a few schemes via which people engage in them
   - Perhaps also a few story ideas!

How to get involved

Please make sure you are registered here <http://bit.ly/17LoRgv> and that
you select “Tax Avoidance/Evasion” in the “I’m Interested in…” section. *Please
note: you will need to be available for at least 3 hours during the
expedition period and spaces will be limited, so preference will be given
to those who can definitely commit to the expedition. Spaces will be
confirmed shortly before the expedition.*
