What is Info-Activism?

Info-Activism is an approach which helps rights advocates tactically utilise information, communications and digital technologies to enhance advocacy work. Tactical Tech believes that new technologies have significant potential to enhance the work of campaigners and advocates, giving them the tools to gather and analyse information and the means to turn that information into action. In this website, we would like to introduce you to our new initiative - The Info-Activism Camp which will be held in Bangalore, India between the 19th and 25th of February 2009. More about our approach to Info-Activism can be found here.

Venue

The camp will be held at Green Valley, a picturesque, quiet resort about 50kms from Bangalore, the capital city of Karnataka in India. The resort is a mix of landscaped gardens, resort style homes, cottages and tents making it an ideal locale for the camp.

Here are some pictures from the venue:

  • Police Brutality Exposed

    For many years, human rights organisations have reported that torture and abuse were rampant in Egypt's police stations. It wasn't until videos emerged showing some of the worst of these violations that the spotlight truly fell on the conduct of Egypt's police. Bloggers such as Wael Abbas brought international attention to police torture by publicising these videos – that show officers committing atrocities on suspects.
