The Cyprus Free/Libre and Open Source Software Association (Ellak) has launched the Cyprus Open Digital Futures Week, a series of events aimed at empowering citizens to influence digital policy. This initiative seeks to foster co-creation of digital policy by citizens and the local tech community, moving beyond mere discussions to tangible action. The program focuses on how technology can serve democracy, education, culture, and the common good, bridging the gap between high-level EU policy and everyday digital life in Cyprus. It highlights issues like transparent procurement, child protection in school platforms, and the use of open-source software for democratic resilience.
This initiative matters because it empowers citizens to actively shape the digital future, ensuring technology development aligns with public values and democratic principles rather than solely serving state and market interests.
