Open Data Awareness Program aims to raise awareness about the concept and usage of open data to Nepal’s digital natives (university students from different academic backgrounds), who are the potential future decision-makers in government, civil society, and the private sector. As a part of the program, hands on training sessions are being organized at different colleges and youth organizations, students are being provided with a compiled Open Data Manual to aid their understanding on open data, and finally, a hackathon event is being organized to bring selected digital natives from different backgrounds together under a single roof to work collaboratively, to share their experiences of learning and working with open data, and to discuss ways to engage more young people in the open data movement in Nepal.
