Are you a civic space defender interested in the impact of digital technology on your work? If so, they invite eligible civil society colleagues to apply to the Tech Camp for Civic Space Defenders organized by Stanford’s Global Digital Policy Incubator (GDPi) and the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL).
The Tech Camp will take place virtually each Tuesday and Thursday from July 13 to August 5, 2021. At the Tech Camp, 25 participants from OECD-DAC eligible countries will address issues including:

- The growth of digital authoritarianism and its influence beyond state borders;
- Disinformation and threats to free expression online; and
- The rise of digital and biometric surveillance.
Participants will have the opportunity to interact with leading experts on digital technology as well as civic space defenders around the world.
