Good things come in threes…
14 June 2021
We’ve had two great events at Civic Digits, but we’ll need your help for the third. The first good thing was winning the Best Non-Profit category at the British Data Awards, which means we are now not just Civic Digits but the award-winning Civic Digits…
That better world we promised our children? Here’s a good start.

If you don’t think you need them, human rights can seem remote, officious concepts, sanctimonious do-gooding created by bureaucrats who want to tamper with the freedoms of citizens to look after themselves..
At least, that’s the narrative you’ll hear from politicians – of all hues – who dislike not being able to do exactly what they like to people they don’t.

Rupert Goodwins’ Blog: What’s next for Civic Digits?
10 February 2021
Spring is here, with its annual promise of a world renewed so much sharper than usual. At Civic Digits, it’s also a good time to say what’s happening in our world in 2021. We kicked things off in with a public performance of The Big Data Show Online, our interactive, digital magic, theatrical event that combines drama, video games and some splendid actors with the story of the UK’s first headline hack and a lot of thought-provoking ideas about digital citizenry, privacy, data exploitation and what it means to be a human in this interconnected world.

We’re big on cybersecurity. In fact, so big on it, we made a show all about it.
So we’re delighted that The Big Data Show will be shown for free as part of this year’s CyberScotland Week, from 22-28 February.
Join us us at 3pm on Thursday 25 February and take part in our immersive, interactive performance, where our hackers Cy and Bug learn the hard way that you’re not always as safe as you think you are online.
If you’re a teacher, or educator, contact us directly to book your class in for a special schools-only performance at 10am.
