Info Session: Digital Verification Corps (DVC)
Thursday, October 10, 2024 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm CET/GMT+1Lecture Hall, Platanenstraße 98A, 13156 Berlin
In today’s digital age, the rapid advancement of technology and open-source data has transformed how we investigate and engage with human rights issues. The Digital Verification Corps (DVC) was established by Amnesty International in 2016 to tackle three pressing challenges: first, how to engage volunteers meaningfully in the 21st century; second, how to collate and verify the overwhelming amount of digital content that reflects human rights abuses; and third, how to train the next generation of human rights researchers in the necessary tools and skills.
At Bard College Berlin, our DVC unit is dedicated to working on various impactful projects while providing training and innovative methodologies for students interested in this vital field. You don’t need any prior experience in the open-source intelligence (OSINT) research—just a passion for learning and a willingness to try something new. Join us and become part of a global community making real contributions to the protection of human rights!
