Civic Lenses is a project that combines research, media activities and activism, which are a basis for long-term observation of the situation of human rights and freedoms, and especially of the exercise of power. This project, for the third year now, encourages and develops citizen journalism and the freedom of expression. The main objective of the Civic Lenses project is to contribute to transparent and responsible political processes, to strengthen public awareness, policies and practices related to human rights, the voting right and political processes, and to alert the domestic and international public about the fraudulent practices in the election processes and in general.
The purpose of the project is to identify and disclose cases of violation of the voting right, through interactive and dynamic activity, which will include human rights activists, the media and the general public, by collecting photo, video, audio and written material that will serve as a basis for further monitoring, analyses and reporting about the electoral process. CIVIL recently published its second publication “We are the media”, which is an excellent resource for active citizens interested in citizen journalism.
The project is supported by the foundation National Endowment for Democracy.
