Know-how

SHAPING COMMUNITIES AND CROWDS

Specialised in the implementation of e-participation and governance processes, we consolidate digital and hybrid communities through data-informed strategies, ITCs and crowdsourcing.

IMPACTING THE MEDIA LANDSCAPE

Experts in framing and (social) media analysis, we define, implement and evaluate tailor-made strategies to impact the media ecosystem for social good.

RENEWING ACTIVISM

We are prototyping new approaches to digital activism with NGOs and civil society, identifying citizens’ ideas and worries and harnessing their collective intelligence to face complex challenges.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Latest projects

Creating and consolidating hybrid communities

Together with the Participation Lab of MediaLab-Prado we identified the challenge of transforming the individual and fragmented contributions that prevailed in the e-democracy platform Decide Madrid, into collective and strategic participation.

Beyond signing petitions: Re-inventing NGO’s activism

Data analysis, storytelling and crowdsourcing are powerful tools to engage citizens in the big challenges of our Millenia. We are investing in the development of methods, tools and strategies to make full use of technology and human intelligence for social change.

Methodology and process design to crowdsource policy on digital harassment

We propose to replicate and improve a cutting-edge crowdsource policy design process (from Digital Ministry of Taiwan) to provide key inputs for the policy and law design about gendered digital harassment. We applied digital methods to map all stakeholders involved in the issue and use technology and face-to-face/participatory methods to allow an open, collective and constructive debate to lead to actionable recommendations.

How we work

METHODS

We capture and analyse the crowd’s conversations, generate bottom-up hypotheses and validate them through social science methods. We use the insights obtained to design effective strategies, inform processes and enhance collective intelligence.

Digital Methods

New open source tools make data from the Web, blogs, media and social channels available. Digital methods allow us to analyse these footprints of society in digital spheres taking into account the peculiarities of each technology.

Data Analysis and Visualisations

We make data speak through meaningful visualisations. The shape of data creates insights, and insights lead to a good and measurable strategy. We select relevant data, design information and analyse it to make the right decisions.

Social Sciences and Humanities

Social sciences are key to delve into data and digital analyses. Our knowledge on anthropology, sociology, psychology, media and semiotics allow us to understand social behaviours, frames, discourses and influence dynamics.

Participatory and Action Research

We apply participatory methodologies and carry out action research when needed. Our goal is to empower communities through collective knowledge, data literacy and inclusion. For organizations and teams we develop capabilities to ensure our analyses’ sustainability.

Who we are
