What is Project Bijou?
It's an ODPA social initiative designed to change behaviour, shift culture, and reduce harm by encouraging everyone to share stories, knowledge and experiences related to ethical data use, in a way that benefits everyone. Its aim is to support and nurture positive cultural change around how people and organisations treat people’s data. It seeks to engage people on a cultural level rather than simply on a legal/compliance one.
