Independent space for civil society is threatened in the digital age. Recreating, or inventing, space for digital civil society requires simultaneous progress in four domains - technological change, organizational structure, legal protections, and social behavior. In this session we'll present some of the key findings from a year long global investigation of these ideas, hear about progress being made in Canada, and engage in discussion with participants about if/how the framework aligns with their work.
