Case Studies & Tools

The 20 case studies curated below form the bedrock of this toolkit and give flavours of the many real-world possibilities of global digital activism from Australia, China, Germany, India, Ireland, South Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UK and the US when groups of students, in school or university, commuters, shoppers, parents, coders and many others decide to take actions to get ‘beyond clicks’.

Tips, tricks and learning lessons from each of the digital campaigns are offered as starting points for further reflection in deliberating and designing your global digital citizenship projects and actions.
