Community21 works with diverse community groups and community facing organisations to co-devise research questions for research and development projects based on identified needs, issues and opportunities. We then collaborativley design tools and methods to address these and make them openly available through our web-platform / toolbox. 

Our work supports organisations that are providing social impact and uses design thinking to support their capacity using technology and constructive design research. We have worked on projects relating to engagement of young people in local politics and planning, community resilience and emergency planning, turning trash (waste) to treasure (value) for sustainable development in under-developed communities, inter-generational exchange etc, social networks for community activists, open community mapping....etc
