When citizens get involved : the power of online communities and crowdsourcingJorieke Vyncke
Thanks to our growing connectivity, it is now easier than ever for citizens to collectively contribute to a project or cause. From microtasking, over collective intelligence, to implicit crowdsourcing; the now widely available technologies and worldwide social networks have allowed for individuals to contribute their own knowledge and skills to a larger whole. But what is crowdsourcing exactly? What drives people to do it? And how is this collaboration exactly coordinated? During this talk all these points will be addressed, a lot of examples will be given, and of course we’ll discuss possible ways that crowdsourcing can be used in development and humanitarian aid.

What Type of Digital Transformation? Reinventing Social Thought and Action...Douglas Schuler
Presentation at International School for Digital Transformation, July 20, 2009. Porto, Portugal.
Discusses the concept of civic intelligence and the Liberating Voices pattern language project as an example of civic intelligence.
By Laurenellen McCann. Edited by Daniel X. O’Neil.
Experimental Modes of Civic Engagement
in Civic Tech is an investigation into what
it means to build civic technology with, not for, real people and real communities. It answers the question, “What’s the difference between sentiment and action?”
The project was conducted by Laurenellen McCann, and it deepens her work in needs- responsive, community-driven processes for creating technology for public good.
This is a project of the Smart Chicago Collaborative, a civic organization devoted to improving lives in Chicago through technology. It was funded by a Knight Community Information Challenge Deep Dive grant given to The Chicago Community Trust by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Sciencewise held a webinar on the 8th September 2014, 13.00-14 to discuss our latest publication which reviews ten years of thought leadership papers. The aim of the webinar was to draw out key themes, valuable insights and learning from the programme’s 10 years of thought leadership research. These are the slides of our presentation.
This presentation considered the following questions:
How and why do people participate?
How ready and willing are citizens to engage in democracy, and why?
What does this mean for representative, deliberative and participatory democracy?
Discussions of different models of democracy often fail to consider what involvement citizens say they want, and if, how and why they are willing to participate. Any form of democracy is shallow without the active participation of citizens. If democracy is to be deepened, it is important that we understand where citizens are now, including what starts and stops them taking a more active role in democracy.
As citizens have become more disillusioned with their elected representatives, the vast majority have not been calling out to participate in other ways. The Hansard Society’s ninth Audit of Political Engagement found satisfaction with the system of governing to be at its lowest level since the Audit began in 2004, but also found frequency of discussing politics and signing a petition to also be at an all time low, while the proportion of citizens who say they would like to be very involved or fairly involved in national decision making had declined from 42% to 33% since the previous audit.
Involve, NCVO and IVR’s Pathways through Participation research explored people’s experiences and perceptions of participation, how and why they participate and what the barriers are to increased active citizenship. This paper will explore the lessons from this and other research and argue that a combination of representative, participatory and deliberative democracy, underpinned by a number of principles, offer the best way of engaging citizens and deepening democracy.

role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
हम आग्रह करते हैं कि जो भी सत्ता में आए, वह संविधान का पालन करे, उसकी रक्षा करे और उसे बनाए रखे।" प्रस्ताव में कुल तीन प्रमुख हस्तक्षेप और उनके तंत्र भी प्रस्तुत किए गए। पहला हस्तक्षेप स्वतंत्र मीडिया को प्रोत्साहित करके, वास्तविकता पर आधारित काउंटर नैरेटिव का निर्माण करके और सत्तारूढ़ सरकार द्वारा नियोजित मनोवैज्ञानिक हेरफेर की रणनीति का मुकाबला करके लोगों द्वारा निर्धारित कथा को बनाए रखना और उस पर कार्यकरना था।
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

communities to shape and that only government can
influence what public do (…) – at the most local,
bodies do for or with them.” most individual level –

http://www.institute.nhs.uk/building_capability/armchair_no_comment/principles.html
1. Technology alone is not answer
2. Understand your participants
3. If you build it, they might not come!
4. Look beyond your sector
5. Evaluate and share learning
Armchair Involvement Master Class

Crowd Sourcing
White Paper definition:
The act of taking a job traditionally
performed by a designated agent
(usually an employee) and
outsourcing it to an undefined,
generally large group of people in
the form of an open call.
Armchair Involvement Master Class
27. Why Crowd Source?
1. Tapping into the wisdom of the crowds
2. Accessing information that is highly
distributed
3. Understanding the preferences of the
crowd
4. Policy innovation, or uncovering new
ideas that are hidden in the crowd

Editor's Notes
[bullet] One of the reasons that people get it wrong is because they start with the process or the structure they want for engagementthe way they want to run an engagement event[bullet] And they hope that it is going to lead to the outcome they want[bullet] But doesn’t work like that[bullet] shouldn’t start with process but ratherAND THEN GO THROUGH THE FORMULA Note at the end that it isn’t in fact linear, but is rather an iterative process
