Tactical Tech is a creative international non-profit with over two decades of experience dedicated to exploring the socio-political impacts of technology on society. We work to empower individuals and communities to navigate and mitigate the ways digital technologies change their lives and transform societies.
Advancing knowledge, critical thinking and capacity building are central to our work. Through our Tactical Tech Studio, focused on Digital Literacy and our Tactical Tech Institute, we conduct research on the intersection of technology and society and develop creative, engaging and evidence-based interventions, resources, and tools —such as exhibitions, kits, guides and training programs — that confront conventional narratives and provoke critical thinking about technology impacts. Our interventions and resources spark conversations and drive transformative action.
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We work closely with individuals, communities, and a global network of partners in education, culture, independent media, civil society, and relevant decision-makers. Together, we co-develop resources that our partners use, adapt, build upon, and often localize to engage and empower their communities.
We aim to redefine digital society by building the skills, understanding, and capacity of individuals and communities, enabling them to navigate and respond to the challenges and opportunities created by digital technologies.
