New Union Details
New Union is a UK-based but international-looking, nonpartisan, a nonprofit social innovation organisation that uses community development, civic technology, open data, digital design, policy analysis, and civic journalism to design world-class engagement projects, event facilitation, and training program design.In 2021, we turned 5 years old, and over that time we have done everything from run policy hackathon events with central governments from around the globe to improve how they communicate digital policy to NGOs, we have built youth-led open democracy projects that put young people in front of elected officials from all parties to challenge them on issues that they care about, designed community-focused smart city projects with disadvantaged Councils in the UK which led us to taking a different third sector engagement approach to the process, a series of workshops in Kosovo & North Macedonia discovering mechanism to fight misinformation around Covid-19 vaccines to helping the NHS to document citizen outreach using vlogs.We've also been designed a host of events including facilitating a participative festival looking at how local government can use community-focused placemaking post pandemic to bring people back to our towns and cities via workshops with local authorities around the world, volunteer created content and an international hackathon, various government funded capacity building training programs looking to improve community digital capacity, designed specific policy hackathons that include hard to reach members of society such as digital needs from the visually impaired and the death community followed by presented those findings to influence strategy and we designed a downloadable toolkit with Die Bertelsmann Stiftung that local government in Germany can download and run their own participatie workshop looking at creating community-driven government open data agenda.
