Tactical Tech is looking for partnering individuals, organisations, or collectives to collaborate with the What the Future Wants (WTFW) project.
WTFW aims to put young people in the driving seat of their digital futures. Through education, co-creation and capacity building, we work towards increasing the data literacy of the next generation so that they can think critically and proactively about the digital environment they want to live in now and in the future. We have created the Data Detox x Youth activity book and the soon-to-be-released WTFW exhibition for young people.
Over the next years, Tactical Tech is looking to expand and develop the What the Future Wants project. To do so, we are seeking partners to help us explore three main areas:
Explore and test co-creation methodologies as a form of meaningful youth engagement
Over the past year, we have been carrying out co-creation workshops with young people in which they shared their knowledge and insights and have a say in shaping their digital future. We would like to find partners who are also interested in co-creation processes to help us explore and test different approaches and methodologies in this area.
Develop, adapt, localise and outreach Tactical Tech’s existing resources to better suit the needs of young people:
We believe that the resources created in the frame of the projects:The Glass Room, the Data Detox Kit, the Data Detox x Youth and What the Future Wants have a great potential to reach more young people. We are looking for partners who can help us to further develop, adapt, localise and outreach these resources so that they meet the needs of specific communities and age groups. We are particularly interested in groups who are experimenting with digital and social formats.
Provide educators with all the tools they need to bring critical data and tech literacy into their work
We are looking for partners who are also interested in equipping educators with the skills, knowledge and methods of youth engagement in this area. This could be through training, peer-to-peer models, or helping us to develop and expand our educational materials and curricula.

This series outlines the initiation, delivery, and findings of the What the Future Wants project (so far) in the hope that other organisations, initiatives, and individuals working with young people can learn from our experience and the rich insights of all of the young people who contributed.
In this mini-series, we explore how Tactical Tech’s first youth-centered team co-created the public education intervention What the Future Wants, which was released in Spring 2022. Here we dive into the workshops we conducted and share principles and practices that informed the co-creation process and findings from the workshops.
