Digital culture refers to the emerging system of values and social practices around news and information online. It involves how people use communication technologies, the activities they engage in, and the social organizations that form. Digital culture has properties in both the online and offline worlds, and is reshaping values and social norms. People are actively engaged in meaning-making online as participants, remediators, and bricoleurs assembling their own versions of reality. Participation involves people both consuming and producing information to help reshape society. Digital culture provides both freedom and challenges for people engaging in selection and use of online materials.
The document discusses the concept of a global village. It outlines how the world was before modern technology when transportation and communication systems were slow. People tried to change this by inventing electricity, communicational technologies like the Internet and cell phones, computers, and faster transportation systems. Today, the world looks smaller and more connected due to these technologies rather than physical distance. The document concludes by reflecting on how past generations worked to create the current global village and how current generations should continue innovating to develop an even more advanced global community.
The document discusses an urban intervention project in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn aimed at engaging the community in discussions about a large-scale development project planned for the area. It describes how the development will involve eminent domain and displacement of locals. The intervention project seeks to facilitate a community needs assessment and provoke discussion around who determines public land use and how developers are held accountable. It outlines two iterations of interventions conducted, and reflects on lessons learned and how the project could be improved.
UnLtdWorld is an online community and platform that connects social entrepreneurs, organizations, and individuals working to create positive social change. It has over 2300 active members who upload resources and engage in groups, events, and discussions. UnLtdWorld is different because it dynamically maps social issues and entrepreneurship, and shares open data to help external projects while protecting privacy. The platform aims to empower users to generate greater social impact through knowledge sharing and building communities.
This document discusses open source mapping and community mapping projects. It highlights several projects including Map Kibera, which made slums in Nairobi visible on online maps. It emphasizes that community mapping allows people to improve their lives by making local information and issues visible. The document argues that open mapping tools have democratized access to mapping, previously only available to powerful groups, and that community mapping is about open data and engagement between local people and outsiders.
How do we make use of new media technologies in urban design? At the conference Social Cities of Tomorrow (Amsterdam 17-2-2012) we propose the concept of the social city as an alternative design approach to 'smart cities'.
is globalization the new colonization of the new era?Daniel
Globalization and colonization both involve the spread of economic and cultural elements from one society to another. Colonization specifically refers to countries or tribes arriving in new places to teach their beliefs and integrate local people into their systems. Globalization describes how economies and societies have become increasingly interconnected globally through new interactions and interdependencies between societies. Both processes aim to establish new economic and cultural aspects to help improve societies, though they also introduce differences between communities.
Speed and scale are hallmarks of thisTechnology, which makes sharing and participation fast and easy, also empowers people who will create the new economy of the future. This talks gives examples of technology platforms that invite end-user contributions.

Open source refers not just to software but a larger movement of cooperation enabled by open networks. Professor Yochai Benkler argues this represents a shift from considering humans as purely self-interested, to recognizing motivations like cooperation and working for the common good. New technologies have facilitated open dialogues that allow ideas and knowledge to spread in new ways, like the Arab Spring protests which leveraged social networks. Benkler believes we are moving to a system of more cooperative production, innovation and problem solving. Open source communities exemplify this as ideas and code build democratically on each other through open sharing.
Role of social networks in egypt revolution of 2011Aryanhella
Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube played a key role in organizing and facilitating the Egyptian revolution of 2011. Dissatisfaction had been growing for decades under President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year regime due to issues like poverty, corruption, unemployment, and police brutality. When Tunisia had a successful revolution in early 2011, it encouraged Egyptian activists. They used social media to schedule protests, coordinate activities, and spread awareness of political events minute by minute both within Egypt and internationally. The rapid organization and unity enabled by social networks was a major factor in the success of the 18-day revolution that resulted in Mubarak's resignation.

This document provides information about the Connected Urban Development Global Conference that took place in Seoul from May 21-22, 2009. The conference was titled "Connecting Cities for Sustainable Living: An Urban Revolution" and focused on connecting communities through public websites, thought leadership, project resources, collaboration tools, and developing smart urban technologies.
The document discusses how new forms of mass collaboration online are leading to a more participatory society where people want to be active players rather than passive spectators. This shift has implications for how artistic organizations approach their audiences and operations. Artists may develop work collaboratively with communities, while organizations will need to invest more in personalizing the audience experience through digital tools and encouraging participation. Business models may also need to change, such as creating more digital content and changing contracts to account for new forms of production and consumption. Funders will have to address how they support blurring artistic genres and projects created through audience participation.
This document summarizes three programs - [SUMMIT], [BRIEFING], and [IMPORT] - created by We Are City to connect and celebrate city builders. [SUMMIT] connects people, [BRIEFING] informs through newsletter statistics and content, and [IMPORT] introduces unconventional topics. The programs work together where [BRIEFING] provides peripheral vision, [SUMMIT] a goal, and [IMPORT] introduces uncertainty, all contributing to an informed citizenry.
The document discusses a community-based technology project involving local citizens. The project aims to provide basic infrastructure like housing and clean water using local materials and skills. Participants gain new abilities and a better understanding of their society through matching their talents to community needs. The goal is for all people to become perfect global citizens who help one another.
While social media engagement could potentially drive corporations to be more sustainable, true stakeholder engagement through these channels often avoids addressing issues of power imbalances and fails to challenge core business values, resulting in only superficial sustainability efforts. Additionally, social media is revealing social inequities like how bankers' bonuses rely on the invisible labor of vulnerable groups. For progress, companies should focus on empowering people and open collaboration to "construct alternatives" using digital tools, rather than seeing themselves at the center surrounded by stakeholders.
Media ecology examines how communication media like social networks and smartphones impact human perception, interaction, and society. It studies the structure and content of communication environments and their effects. While technologies provide convenience and strengthen relationships, they can also weaken real conversation and reflection. Constant connectivity through devices may form addictions and prioritize machines over human interaction. Overall, different media influence how people understand reality.
Seriously Social | digital social networks in a nutshell Dr Mariann Hardey
The document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on social interactions. It notes that social media has blurred the lines between public and private spheres, allowing people to have more persistent social presence. It also argues that social media fosters mutual and shared social experiences through networks of connectivity, rather than isolated "little boxes" of experience.
We all know what the typical library computer space looks like — rows of computers, each one occupied by a single person using the technology on his or her own. The underlying notion driving this configuration is that people need access to information, and that this access is optimized when each person is left alone to use the computer and internet (with assistance from a librarian when a need arises). This is the “access to information” model, and libraries have long excelled at providing this form of access.
There is another model that is experiencing tremendous growth and excitement—innovation spaces—physical places that foster community, collaboration, and creation. The notion behind these spaces is that creativity and innovation are stimulated when people and ideas come into contact with one another, not when they are isolated. There are many types of innovation spaces—hackerspaces, makerspaces, coworking spaces—all of which are founded on the “access to each other” model.
In this talk, Chris presented the concept of innovation spaces, provided a tour of different types of spaces, and discussed the economic, social, and technical drivers of this movement. Thoughts on the important role of libraries in providing such spaces for their communities were also shared.
The document discusses the role of designers in city planning and placemaking. It notes that while planned communities have existed for over 200 years, there is still much to learn about what truly makes communities work. Intervention is sometimes needed when places decline, but too much can stifle organic growth. The ideal is putting people at the heart of placemaking by promoting social relationships, shared spaces and activities, and a sense of identity and belonging. Well-designed public spaces and buildings can encourage mixing and strengthen social bonds in a community.

Local, city democracy changing in the digital era. By Tomasz Nadolny. #RockitWAWDigiComNet
Meet Tomek Nadolny, Chief Technology Officer - City of Gdańsk and former Head of Mayor's Office City Hall Gdańsk.
At Rockit Digital Summit he talked about a very interesting and hot topic of modern days - future of digital communication for politics and governance.
The document discusses how digital technologies can help re-engage citizens in democracy by reducing barriers to participation, but that there are also challenges to consider, such as lack of skills, access, and motivation. It argues that partnerships between government and civil society are needed to realize the transformative potential of digital media and bring citizens back to the center of democracy.
Social Media Role in politics ziad jaserZiad Jaser
This document analyzes the role of social media in politics. It discusses how social media has become an essential tool for political mobilization, campaigning, and propaganda. Social media helps activists organize protests, politicians campaign for office, and groups spread their messages. While not single-handedly causing political change, social media provides new opportunities for participation and has influenced many political events and outcomes in recent years.
The document discusses how governance can be "unbundled" by distributing government functions through technology and citizen participation. It provides examples from Bowen Island, Canada where citizen initiatives like a crowdsourced road conditions map emerged during a snowstorm, bypassing traditional government processes. The author argues that crises, political will, and "constructive renegades" can drive this unbundling. Governments may take on more of a facilitator role by integrating citizen input and data. For unbundling to work, citizens need to create tools, relate institutional data, and embrace responsibility while governments embrace openness.
The document discusses how new technologies and social media are changing how the public engages with government and politics. It argues that representatives need to adapt to these changes by using tools like social media, open data, and online engagement to better involve constituents and collaborate with local communities. Failing to adapt risks losing relevance as the expectations of an always-connected public diverge from traditional political structures. The document urges representatives to consider how their role may need to evolve over the next 5-20 years to maintain meaningful relationships with citizens in this changing digital landscape.
The document discusses several topics related to democracy and the internet, including how electronic technologies can impact private spaces and democratic rights, how online communities like Second Life and social media can promote activism and discussion, and debates around public versus private spheres in digital spaces. It also examines issues of surveillance, control of online spaces, and the potential for the internet to reinvigorate public discourse.

Apple 8 Social Media and Political Actionkesterbrewin
The document discusses how social media can impact political action and democracy. It argues that while social media can enhance freedom of speech and mobilization, it can also depoliticize political communication and dampen real-world action. When online participation provides satisfaction that reduces willingness to interact in the real world, and when messages are valued just for circulation rather than response or action, social media can displace real political engagement. However, social media could also empower people when combined with in-person organizing focused on local communities.
This document discusses designing social media platforms to encourage civic engagement among youth. It reviews literature on how youth conceptualize and participate in civic issues online. The study defined civic engagement as supportive, deliberative, and collaborative practices in social media in response to societal needs. Interviews with youth found they prefer informal engagement in flexible contexts like Facebook over formal sites. Youth are motivated by peer-oriented causes, visibility, excitement from pictures/videos, and desire for quick feedback. The document provides recommendations for design including context, flexibility, updated content, peer relevance, control, sharing, visibility, and feedback.
In this presentation I consider the nature of current state of "crowdsourcing" designs, and pose that the management of information can be a potent form of collaborative participation with "civic media."
"Civic media is any form of communication that strengthens the social bonds within a community or creates a strong sense of civic engagement among its residents. Civic media goes beyond news gathering and reporting." - http://civic.mit.edu/

Exploring Social Media as a Powerful Tool for Creating Meaningful Change Marryam Khan
Digital activism is more impactful than commonly believed. While some dismiss online activists as "slacktivists", research shows social media activists are twice as likely to volunteer, four times as likely to encourage others to take action, and twice as likely to participate in events or donate. Awareness raised through social platforms can translate to tangible benefits, like the $7 million raised through text donations for Haiti earthquake relief in 2010. When coupled with offline action, digital tools give voice to more people and spread issues rapidly, showing how online and real-world activism can work together powerfully for change.
This document discusses 4 major social trends:
1) Self-accomplishment and finding one's own way with the collapse of traditional reference points.
2) Interactive identity where identity is co-constructed online and people can actively share what they are doing.
3) Networking where proximity is based on shared values rather than geography and people can identify useful connections.
4) Collective automation where people act in autonomous action communities sharing resources through open access platforms and geolocation.

The Next Era: a new Nordic Societal Vision for Well-Being Demos Helsinki
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities of technological change and globalization. It argues that while past eras saw improved living standards and equality through public investments in infrastructure, education, and welfare systems, new challenges have emerged. These include an aging population, technological unemployment, environmental issues, and questions about whether current democratic systems can adequately address structural economic changes. It proposes that Nordic societies exemplify principles of social justice, equality and inclusiveness that could inform a "Next Era" vision focused on an inclusive circular economy, progressive democratic institutions, and improving skills.
This document discusses scenarios for a hyperconnected society in 2040. It notes that new technologies will emerge that combine the physical and digital realms, with the two worlds colliding and exchanging qualities such that the digital will become physical and vice versa. It identifies five key tensions that will arise in a hyperconnected planet relating to issues like well-being vs planetary boundaries. The document advocates for using scenarios to help reveal possible futures and help decision-making by demonstrating how future events may be linked. Scenarios can help identify opportunities that enable a good life within planetary boundaries and help organizations make informed decisions.
Bees and Trees - a novel way for large companies and startups to co-create su...Demos Helsinki
1) The document discusses a partnership model called "Bees & Trees" that facilitates business experiments between startups ("Bees") and large traditional companies ("Trees") to co-create sustainable innovations.
2) Through facilitated meetings and innovation camps, four pilot business experiments were conducted between 2016-2017, including one between the startup ResQ Club and large food company S Group to fight food waste.
3) Lessons learned from the experiments showed potential for impact but also challenges from different priorities and timelines between large companies and startups. Facilitation was found crucial for setting targets and timelines. The document provides a manual for replicating the Bees & Trees collaboration model.

Nextera global: from transformation to just societyDemos Helsinki
NextEra is a global initiative to track, connect, and amplify emerging ideas for an open and forward-looking society. As everyone is speaking about the transformation, we need to create a vision for what next. There is a need to identify, conceptualise and scale social innovations and experiments fast (as the technology and business innovations are changing the world).
Vision is a narrative for that links initiatives.
This intro by Demos Helsinki founders Roope Mokka and Aleksi Neuvonen was held in NextEra workshop 'A New Vision for Democracy?" in London on March 29th 2017.
This document discusses evidence-based policy and some of the challenges involved. It notes that while randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard for evidence, politics is also influenced by other factors like public opinion and consensus. Politicians must make decisions quickly without full understanding and evidence can be against their values. The document also discusses how evidence is interpreted through ideological lenses and that context is important for determining what works. It advocates for an experimental approach to governance through limited testing of policies rather than trying to fully implement evidence.

The document discusses how sharing economies are changing cities. It notes that sharing economies allow people to share excess capacity through digital platforms, lowering transaction costs. This can create possibilities for cities like wider participation and stronger local economies, but also threats like global monopolies controlling services. The document argues that cities need to focus on people rather than technology, promote platforms governed by users, understand value is created through use rather than production, recognize models already exist in cities, and make the city itself a platform governed by its residents.

Ok Fest2012 Kuittinen Open democracy, the we and the state
1. Why
open democracy,
the we & the state
desperately need each other

May 2009: Little knowledge, lots of
enthusiastic hands
7. Photo: Dodo ry
Citizen movements nurture active citizens that
are interested in, and capable of, grasping the
opportunities of open democracy
September 2009: Sharing the enthusiasm
8. Photo: Dodo ry
Open ministry
The state is slow and its resources are limited.
Without citizen movements people’s possibilities to
make use of the tools of open democracy remain
weak.

In citizen
movements
‘me’ becomes ’we’

A ’we’ that
understands a
bigger picture
created together
through action
Instead of me,
’a self-service king’,
doomed to make
individual choices and

carry the responsibilities

12. Why
the ‘we’ needs
open democracy and
the state
15. 21st century citizen action
fast-paced projects, temporary
combines virtual and live environments
quickly forms networks across the world
combines people’s different capabilities
open processes, information sharing, deliberation
non-hierarchical, averse to formal organisation
is based on trust of being peers and trust is developed
ass: hugovk, flickr Creative
through action
”we + just like me”
lived experience ><
representative democratic process
> new action is not able to connect to it and
its potential of moving structures is lost
18. What kind of action by citizen
groups and communities open
democracy needs to become
more than just a potential?
ass: hugovk, flickr Creative
What new links btw we and
the state is needed?
= new type of partnership
btw goverment and citizen
action?
19. Let’s co-think that
in the workshop.
