Our Projects
Helping civil society initiatives solve IT challenges
Belarusian civil society has a great deal of initiatives working in domains like democracy, freedom of speech, culture, education, etc. We believe all of them need a simple and tractable way to solve IT challenges they face without necessarily building IT teams of their own. Our members offer these initiatives professional pro-bono help in standing up websites, chatbots, analytics, SMM tools and other IT tools they need to effectively solve their challenges.

Representing Belarusian IT around the globe
We’re building connections with tech-companies, regulators, government agencies, non-government organizations and nonprofits around the world to advocate solving IT-related problems which affect Belarusians. Topics we’re advocating for: protecting freedom of speech and resisting censorship in Belarus internet, adding support for belarusian language in major IT products, softening and improving regulations allowing belarusian IT specialists to work and live abroad.
Educational workshops
We promote popular education and vocational training by sharing by sharing practical knowledge about the technology that shapes our world. Our members host hands-on sessions designed to make science and research accessible to everyone.
Our workshops cover a wide range of topics, including fundamentals like "How the Internet Works" and newer developments like "Hands-on with LLMs." These are just examples of how we make technical skills and information more accessible for the community to navigate today’s IT landscape.
