Timeline: A travel through Our Collaborative and Creative Journey
When Tactical Tech was founded two decades ago, there was a lot of optimism surrounding digital technologies but not much focus on their potential for civil society and the risks that could arise. Many people talked about technology as an equalising and empowering force, but there was little action to make it a reality. Tactical Tech wanted to change that. Started in a former hairdresser salon in Amsterdam in 2003, the organisation grew steadily, setting up informal offices worldwide, from Amman to Brighton to Bangalore. In 2012, the expanded international team found a permanent home in Berlin. From toolkits in-a-box to large-scale interventions that engaged millions of people worldwide in conversations around the impact of digital technologies, the journey has had one constant: our collaborative approach.
Since its creation, Tactical Tech has co-developed hundreds of interventions and resources in collaboration with local partners and collaborators worldwide. These resources have directly reached millions of people: activists, human rights advocates, researchers, journalists, educators, librarians, young people...and the list continues. Looking back, it's incredible to see the places we've been, the people we've worked with, and the projects we've undertaken. Join us on this remarkable journey through two decades of collaboration, innovation and co-creation.
