DCitizens Summer School 2024
The Interactive Technologies Institute is thrilled to announce the return of the DCitizens Summer School, taking place from July 9th to 11th in Lisbon, Portugal. Hosted at Creative Hub Beato, this three-day training event will explore strategies and techniques for engaging and collaborating with communities to co-create, deploy, and evaluate civic technologies. Participants will delve into real-world challenges, working alongside local community members to develop skills in working with civic technologies2. The theme for this year’s summer school is “Opportunities and Limitations of Civic Technologies.”
The hands-on activities of the DCitizens 2024 Summer School are directly aligned with ongoing real-world projects in collaboration with four local institutions: the Intercultural European Club & the Aga Khan Foundation, the Portuguese Council for Refugees, Associação o Dom Maior, and Neighborhood Association Bairro Horizonte. Attendees will have the opportunity to work with the partners and hopefully influence and contribute to their Community-led research.
