DDI Hackathon organized
Metamorphosis Foundation organized a hackathon as part of CIVICUS’s International Civic Society Week. The event was held in Bangkok, Thailand from 1st to 5th of November 2025. The five teams, working hard, completed and presented their demo presentations. Over the next few months, they will work on developing a prototype, under the mentorship and guidance of Metamorphosis Foundation and CLi, with the support of CIVICUS.
The five projects developed through the Hackathon and supported in the granting and mentoring phase, are listed bellow.
Armenian Progressive Youth NGO (Armenia)
„Path2Action“ is a step-by-step wizard that helps grassroots organizers turn ideas into real events fast. It guides goal-setting, audience targeting, event format, timeline, and roles, while suggesting partners, providing a budget template and logistics checklist, and auto-generating outreach materials in multiple languages. In under 30 minutes, users get a clear plan, to-do list, and shareable resources to launch effective, well-organized actions.
Center for Education and Development – CED (North Macedonia)
„CrossCheck Lite“ is a streamlined, privacy-focused tool that helps journalists and researchers quickly verify information across the region. It allows users to input claims or media, automatically analyzes and categorizes the content, and provides relevant sources and evidence in seconds. Designed to integrate smoothly into existing newsroom workflows, it supports fast verification, documentation, and collaboration. Its flexible structure allows for easy updates and expansion, ensuring it stays effective as information environments and verification needs change.
New Droni 2024 (Georgia)
„ActiVibe“ is a youth-friendly app with campaign stories and practical guides. The app includes a “Non-violent Resistance” section with lessons from past examples such as: Armenian youth who used street art to spark dialogue, or a Georgian campaign that faltered, highlighting pitfalls to avoid. Within minutes, creative tactics, a safety checklist, and reassurance from peer experiences become accessible. The goal is to empower young people with real-world examples, step-by-step guidance, and safe, creative tools that turn civic frustration into constructive activism.
Daily Humanity (Ukraine)
The tool is an AI-powered digital risk intelligence system designed to help civil society organizations and independent media anticipate and respond to hate and disinformation campaigns. Its goal is to provide early detection of hostile narratives, real-time risk assessment, ready-to-use crisis communication support, resilience training, and after-action guidance—so that organizations can act proactively instead of improvising under pressure.
SBunker (Kosovo)
The proposed „Communication Toolkit for Disinformation Attacks“ is a structured playbook to help CSOs and media outlets respond swiftly and effectively when targeted. It provides step-by-step guidance, pre-approved multilingual message templates, evidence packs with verified information, and a channel matrix to prioritize outreach. Its goal is to neutralize attacks in real time while also documenting portals, accounts, and troll networks to build stronger defenses against future campaigns.
