The Public Knowledge Workshop (Hasadna)

FINANCIAL LITERACY, the Public Knowledge Workshop in FINANCIAL

INCLUSION, is a non-profit organisation, non-partisan organisation that
was founded in 2011. Its mission is to allow the public to engage more
meaningfully with Israeli government and public interest data by making it
more accessible to the public. This is achieved with the support of
hundreds of volunteers who are engaged in civic coding on open source
platforms (a form of coding which is open for everyone to use, share and
develop upon). The volunteers develop websites and apps that are openly
available to the general public that present and analyze this data.
Examples of government data examined by Hasadna include Knesset
voting records, legislation, committee activity (particularly the Finance
Committee), national budget information and the management of public
funds at both the local and national levels.
The Workshop:
Develops free websites and mobile apps based on open source software
that make government information more accessible to the public;
Collaborates with the government to increase its transparency and open
additional information;
Cooperates with numerous organizations, institutions, media and citizens
that share its goals;
Brings together social and Hi-Tech entrepreneurs, developers, designers
and editors to incubate its project

Activists at the Public Knowledge Workshop come from a variety of
backgrounds, from programming experts and graphic designers to
researchers in the social sciences.
We believe that by working together and learning from each other, we can
innovate our way to a better civic discourse in India. Plus, we have a lot of
fun in the process.
