Digital Volunteers
is a union of people and organizations that coordinate and offer digital solutions to support volunteers´ efforts to help those in need.
Our aim
is to help people affected by war and to facilitate the work of volunteers. All decisions and progress of projects should be judged against the purpose of DV, not personal interests.
Taboo
we do not incite national hatred, we do not engage in political actions, and we do not supply arms or dual-use goods.
Hierarchy vs. Agility
we operate according to the principle of equality and self-organisation, for administrative matters and official partnerships Digitalista e.V. was established.
Openness and transparency
internally and externally: we work according to the open-source principle to share information, IT solutions, and developments with as many people as possible; internally, we strive for transparency and maximum feedback.
Our Projects
We have several projects run by our members and partner teams, mainly focused on information aggregation, Telegram solutions, visualizing data, and facilitating networking.

Our team
Most of the work done by digital volunteers remains unnamed, but behind every product, there is a particular person who worked hard in their free time to get the project further.
