We are a not-for-profit dedicated to creating inclusive digital spaces.

We are creators, researchers, technologists, and advocates from all walks of life with shared passion for helping people.

Digital Public Square began as a project at the University of Toronto’s Munk School in 2013, where we were focussed on government accountability and internet freedom.

Over the years that followed the team developed campaigns promoting gender equality, games supporting human rights, and a digital hygiene platform for people around the world.

In 2016, that project’s leadership founded Digital Public Square, the not-for-profit, to scale up our efforts by reaching more communities, building technology that lasts, and leaving long-term impacts. Our work has grown to reach millions of people worldwide across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

Digital Public Square would not be here without the incredible alumni, friends, volunteers, and partners we’ve had along the way.

Thank you for everything you’ve done. You make this work possible.
