Daily Humanity opens the call for applications for Civic Signals Lab: Amplify your impact with technology and an international support network

Are you working “in the field,” constantly documenting human rights violations and solving community problems, but critically lacking the resources, time, and expertise to elevate these issues to a higher level and amplify your impact?

We know that in times of war, resources are depleted while challenges only grow. That is why Daily Humanity is launching the 5-month practical program Civic Signals Lab: Technologies for Civic Impact. We will help transform your daily observations into a powerful tool for change, automate routine tasks, and find allies at the national and global levels.

Civic Signals Lab is part of the large-scale international transformational program CIVICUS Digital Democracy Initiative (DDI), implemented in partnership with the Metamorphosis Foundation, TechSoup, and the Digital Activism Program.

What will you gain from participating?

🔹 Automation, secure AI monitoring, and practical technology skills: We will teach you how to use an automated monitoring and research platform, alongside AI tools for working with open data, sentiment analysis, rapid data visualization, and protection against online attacks.

🔹 Synergy and experience exchange: We will connect you with a cohort of professional, strong organizations capable of moving mountains together. You will exchange insights and jointly strengthen socially important initiatives.

🔹 Constructive advocacy: We will teach you to use data not just for criticism, but to promote successful solutions in your own and other communities.

🔹International opportunities and networking: You will have the opportunity to participate in the program’s international events, exchanging experiences with activists and human rights defenders from around the world.

🔹Technological support: Participants will receive exclusive access to modern digital solutions and software from TechSoup, significantly enhancing your team’s capacity.

Who are we looking for?
