Lie Detectors – Gastbeitrag über meinen Schulbesuch
Das ist ein Ausschnitt des Schülerbericht eines Besuches im Rahmen meiner Tätigkeit als Expertin für “Lie Detectors”:
” Was haben Knoblauchgetränke gegen Corona und ein Hai auf der Autobahn gemeinsam? Über beide Fälle wurde im Internet ausgiebig berichtet, die Nachrichten sogar in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt, gar tausendfach über WhatsApp geteilt.
Gegen Falschnachrichten wie diese hat die 6a nun ein hochwirksames Hilfsmittel erprobt. Gemeinsam mit der Auslandskorrespondentin Julia Jaroschewski, die u.a. für Die Welt, Spiegel-Online und das WIRED-Magazin tätig ist, haben die Schüler neun Werkzeuge erfahren, die falschen Behauptungen im Netz den Kampf ansagen und nicht authentische Bildercollagen identifizieren. “

OpenCrime Conference “Uncovering the Role of Women in Crime” 2019
In June 2019 we organized a conference with the support of the International Alumni Center of the Robert Bosch Foundation. Here a short description of the event:
Media coverage of crime often focuses on bloody isolated acts. Instead, it should uncover, analyze and make comprehensible larger contexts, trends and social causes relating to crime and the judicial system.
The OpenCrime Conference hosted by the think tank BuzzingCities Lab is a platform to connect investigative journalists and experts from different fields and discuss trends and tools for investigative reporting on crime.
The first edition of the global conference series takes place within the Media Cluster of the Bosch Alumni Network on 24th June 2019 in Berlin and focuses on investigative reporting on the role of women in crime.
The role of women as affected group, as offenders as well as potential changemakers is often overlooked in media and public debates. But the radicalization and prison rates of female offenders are on the rise globally, as well as hate crimes against women in the digital and non-digital realm. Women can also play a vital role in crime prevention and other anti-crime strategies.
“Global Changemakers – Cities as Future Labs”
At the recent Latin America-Caribbean Conference at the Foreign Federal Office in Berlin, we facilitated an interactive session titled “Global Changemakers: Cities as Future Labs” for the Global Diplomacy Lab. As founders of BuzzingCities Lab we explored how cities function as future labs for innovative forms of diplomacy and sustainable strategies. Discussions also centred on pain points and success factors of collaborative initiatives between emerging actors, the state and government institutions.

When a shooting takes place in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas, an app helps residents understand what’s going on – eyewitnesses can warn others where it is dangerous right now. ‘Fogo Cruzado‘ (crossfire) is a digital platform and an app that uses crowdsourcing to document shooting incidents and map violence. Cities like Rio de Janeiro that are struggling with challenges such as gun violence often develop creative solutions and technologies that can be transferred to other cities and countries.
Three takeaways:
#1 Informal stakeholders play a major role in urban change
Involvement of local, often informal actors in Latin American cities is essential to achieve sustainable transformation and master challenges. Grassroots initiatives such as waste-picker associations, street vendors and local civil rights activists are vital actors of change. Often, local initiatives have already developed solutions, but lack the opportunity to professionalise and reach out to a larger audience. They may also have no access to urban planning and political decision-makers or lack resources. Successful concepts for urban change have to take into account groups such as criminal organisations, i.e. gangs, militias or self-defence groups.
#2 Technology can provide life hacks and push for accountability

Vienna Session: Online Safety of Women Journalists
Developing solutions to fight gender-based threats against female journalists was the main goal of a session organised by UNESCO, the Bosch Alumni Network and the GDL. GDL member Julia Jaroschewski and GDL Blog editor Mareike Enghusen, both freelance journalists and experienced moderators, facilitated the session. Their session was built on the motivation to tackle challenges such as a masculine culture in newsrooms or the lack of knowledge among the police, media executives and policymakers about online violence against women.

The event on ‘Online Safety of Women Journalists’ took place within the framework of the OSCE conference ‘Increasing Opportunities for Freedom of Expression and Media Pluralism’. The results of the event will directly influence a new UNESCO initiative addressing the harassment women journalists have to deal with in their daily work.
27 participants with different areas of expertise were brought together by the workshop to find solutions concerning the safety of women journalists online. The methodology consisted of two phases, each characterised by short brainstorming intervals. While the first phase served as a basis to work out potential research questions, the second section was used to develop ideas, ready to be incorporated into the UNESCO study. This unconventional and open format contributed to the positive outcome of the session. Continue reading
Gewalt in Chicago: Wo Waffen so selbstverständlich sind wie Handys
40.000 Tote – noch nie starben so viele US-Bürger durch Schusswaffen wie 2017. Besonders viel Gewalt durch Waffen gibt es im Süden Chicagos. Das wollen einige Bürger nicht mehr hinnehmen und ihre Viertel zurückgewinnen.
