june 2016 – Omidyar releases civic tech report, specific calls to action

http://www.govfresh.com/2016/06/omidyar/

Findings in a nutshell:

The main take-away from this research is a need for a coherent and clearly articulated vision and sense of shared identity for civic tech. If the sector can work together to deliver this, it will help attract more participants to the sector – the more people understand what we mean when we say civic tech, the more they may see their work and interests reflected in it and will be interested to actively “join the movement”.

ie: vision – hosting life bits  attract more – self talk as data

let’s do this first: free art-ists.

What is truly remarkable about Code.org’s strategy is their ability to engage teachers and students through a consumer-centric approach that makes learning fun and engaging.

When science moves faster than moral understanding, ppl struggle to articulate their unease. In liberal societies they reach first for the language of autonomy, fairness, individual rights.
