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.

2003-2023

2021-2023

Amid escalating crises and the spread of misinformation, digital technologies play an increasing role in the way people get informed, form opinions and find solutions to situations like war, climate crises, and political polarisation. Many are still unaware of the relationship between digital technologies and people's responses to crises. This realisation drove our mission to engage people in exploring this crucial topic.

Our impact: We expanded our work to engage with an evolving set of challenges related to technology and crises to promote reflection on the societal and democratic impact of technology and crisis response. We collaborate with over 150 trusted partners to inform and engage their communities in conversations around the relationship between technology, democracy and crises by providing them with the necessary tools and information to take action and make informed decisions.

Impact Focus: Systemic Impact.

Work areas: Media and digital literacy, Misinformation & Disinformation, Technology & crises, Data & Political influence, Advancing knowledge on Investigative Methods & Tools.

2016-2019

Amidst increasing privacy concerns, we saw a growing need to develop new ways to engage wider audiences in conversations about technology's impact on their lives. Simultaneously, half a year prior to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, we exposed the rising trend of private companies offering services to political entities to utilise personal data to influence voters’ opinions. As the scandal unfolded, Tactical Tech provided knowledge and understanding of the dynamics behind the scenes to help audiences to understand the scandal's implications.

Our Impact: We created interactive experiences for people to explore, initiate conversations, and raise questions that gained global reach through partnerships, raising awareness and encouraging self-reflection on people’s digital lives. Through initiatives like The Glass Room, we debunked the misconception that individuals lack interest in these topics. People possessed valid questions but needed practical solutions to comprehend and tackle the vast dimensions of the problem. Thus, the Data Detox Kit was created, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their use of technology. Simultaneously, our Data and Politics project advanced knowledge of the Influence Industry, while Exposing the Invisible expanded its resources and knowledge sharing on investigative practices for a growing community.

Impact Focus: Scaling.

Work areas: Media and digital literacy, Misinformation & Disinformation, Technology & crises, Data & Political influence, Advancing knowledge on Investigative Methods & Tools.

2013-2015

Amid global social and political tensions, activists and citizens sought new investigative skills to document, process, and visualise information for their causes and communities. This led to the creation of "Exposing the Invisible," which serves as a set of resources and a network for investigators and journalists as well as for activists and citizens to uncover wrongdoing and gather evidence for narratives and visual communication.

Our impact: We emphasised the importance of political narratives and advocacy rooted in verified evidence while also recognising the power of engaging storytelling and visual narratives to involve more people in meaningful conversations about their contexts. Simultaneously, in collaboration with our partners, we pioneered the creation of independent resources on privacy and rights, such as Me and My Shadow. Through these resources, we illustrated that digital security concerns everyone, highlighting the value of personal data and the associated political risks.

Impact Focus: Field building.

Work areas: Information Activism (Rights-based digital campaigning), Digital Security and Human Rights and Privacy and Rights.

2013: Exposing the Invisible is born: building the capacity of citizen investigators
The project launched with three films focusing on new forms of citizen investigation. Seven video sketches and a bank of resources were created to help people to start their own investigations. The resources featured aimed to help activists protect themselves and their work.

2009-2012

With wider access to technology, certain countries experienced heightened government surveillance and corporate intrusion into personal data. Activists and rights groups demanded interactive tools and solutions to empower their teams and communities against growing digital security risks. In response, we created innovative and adaptable resources for individuals to learn self-protection and foster a safer digital environment.

Impact: Utilising our expertise and our network of partners, we developed user-friendly tools and practical advice for individuals to safeguard themselves and their data. We transformed theoretical concepts into easy-to-follow, step-by-step activities available in multiple languages. Through these resources, we empowered non-profits to enhance the digital security skills of their less tech-savvy members who faced the greatest exposure to risks. These innovative and diverse resources marked the beginning of our outreach to a wider audience beyond the non-profit sector and the tech-savvy communities.

Impact Focus: Training.

Work areas: Information Activism (Rights-based digital campaigning) and Digital Security and Human Rights.

2006-2008

Digital technology was nearly ubiquitous and was becoming the primary means of creating and sharing information. We focused our work on how non-profits could use technologies in campaigning, especially in low and middle-income countries, to present and visualise data and information and create engaging narratives that support their work. That is what we call Information Activism.

Our impact: We compiled the best visualisation and storytelling tactics and strategies worldwide. We made them accessible to non-profits to address the types of visual storytelling that work best for their audiences. We turned case studies and theory into specific practices that organisations could adapt and replicate. During this period, our training camps created unique networking opportunities for non-profits and new projects and collaborations were born. These events served as catalysts and advanced technological knowledge and skills.

Impact Focus: Capacity building.

Work areas: Advocacy and Info Activism.

2003-2005

Technology was quickly becoming a crucial asset for non-profit organisations and advocacy groups. Discussions were being held on how civil society organisations should employ and engage with technology. It was important to identify suitable technology for non-profits and to promote best practices to address the unforeseen consequences of its use.

Our impact: We put alternative technologies for non-profits on the map and brought together organisations and individuals who were already building the capacity of non-profits. Together, we developed tools and shared knowledge about open-source software, digital safety and security for non-profits. Through a global network of digital security trainers, we gained insights from diverse perspectives and localised resources to different contexts. Our scalable methodology changed how things were done. Working together became a fixture of our activities.

Impact Focus: Capacity building.
