Registration has opened for two free online workshops on the use of open data and technologies to combat human trafficking. Classes will be held on January 13th and 15th, 2026, at 7pm.
The first meeting addresses techniques (acronym for “open source intelligence”, intelligence or information taken from public data) and digital security in contexts. The second deals with the use of them in investigations into migration, sexual exploitation and work similar to slavery.
The project also offers five microgrants of £500 (around R$3,000) for the development of reports, texts or analyzes based on data on the topics. To compete, you must register on the form and participate in the activities. The result will be announced on January 21, 2026.
The five people selected will participate in an eight-week mentoring cycle, between January 22nd and March 13th, 2026, with technical and editorial support in data analysis, digital security and narrative construction.
The content produced will be published between March 16 and 23, 2026, with support from Escola de dados and project partners.
