Digital Natives with a Cause? is a knowledge programme initiated by CIS, India and Hivos, Netherlands. It is a research inquiry that seeks to look at the changing landscapes of social change and political participation and the role that young people play through digital and internet technologies, in emerging information societies. The collaboration has produced a four book collective around 'digital revolutions' in a post Arab spring world, a position paper, a scouting report and three international workshops in Taipei, Johannesburg and Santiago.
