TECH FOR GOOD AND SHARE NO EVIL COLLABORATION:

In response to the tragic attacks in Christchurch, our friends at Spark joined forces with other communications businesses to launch Share No Evil (www.sharenoevil.co.nz) – a movement to make sharing hate content socially unacceptable.

With a vision to become an enduring movement, Share No Evil is driving the conversation around how we can create meaningful social change and stop the spread of hate content.

To play our part as a solutions-focused tech community, Tech for Good NZ are partnering with Share No Evil and will be running an ideation session for our next event.

Facilitated by local leading agile coaches, Tech for Good NZ and Spark Foundation, the ideation session will look at how we can stop hate content online from impacting our communities. We're specifically looking for ideas that further promote the vision of the Share No Evil platform.

SEED FUNDING:

There is up to $20,000 available in seed funding from Spark Foundation, to support two ideas going forward. Further information about this is below.

We’re looking for a diverse range of skills and experience from participants, as well as commitment and passion to drive ideas forward beyond the session.

AGENDA:

  • 4.45pm Welcome, networking and nibbles.
  • 5:15pm briefing and context setting for the challenge.
  • Ideation session and development.
  • Presentation of chosen idea back to the group.
  • Voting for ideas to proceed to the next stage. (Details below).

NB: Since this format differs from our usual meet-ups, there won’t be a panel discussion or individual speakers. We ask you come ready to actively participate in the session. We can’t wait to hear your ideas!
