In order to encourage people to express themselves publicly and foster government accountability, the Jordanian youth organization Leaders of Tomorrow launched in 2010 the street-based initiative Fadfed (which translates as “let your frustration out”). The activity, held every few months, invites people to openly share their views about sensitive issues, such as drugs, violence, unemployment, inflation and parliamentary elections, on white boards or sheets of paper posted in public places. Organizers live tweet people's opinions using the hashtag #Fadfed to the relevant government officials for responses. Conceived as a way to survey and document public opinion, the initiative collects data that can be used in campaigns or research projects.
