Trends in Civic Tech: new opportunities to enhance community engagement?
Though the terminology may vary, more and more funders, investors and practitioners have joined this emerging “civic tech” field.
The purpose of my research is to enhance civic engagement within the community thanks in part to the use of many open-sources tools that can be easily adopted by citizens and NPOs.
Have you used open source community tools like Fix My Street? What was your experience with it? Any best practices or pitfalls to avoid? Thank you, Federica (Fellow 2017)
Powerful sharing @ Center on Philantropy and Civil Society

It has already been 2 weeks since our program at the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society started and the emotion to be part of this group is so special, it is not easy to describe in words!
Thanks to the Fellowship provided by the Center, I met four colleagues (now also friends!) with whom I have been sharing professional experiences, ideas, best practices and goals. I have to say the best interaction comes when we try to find out solutions for incoming challenges that our communities might face in the next future.
