SUMMARY:Mean[IN]gful digital inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Our second annual event\, on the theme of Mean[IN]gful Digital Inclusion\, engages with attendees through the participatory practices adopted by our Feasibility Study leads. We showcase current funded projects and activities by inviting participants to experience the approaches and methods used by within each project. We bookend these experiences with discussions and roundtables\, where we ask everyone to explore what a digital inclusive society would feel like. \n\n\n\nOur event will include: \n\n\n\n\nProject presentations\n\n\n\nIN+ Art Iterations update\n\n\n\nWorkshops\n\n\n\nIN+ Principles for Digital Equity work\n\n\n\n\n\nOur mission\n\n\n\nINCLUDE+ is a UKRI/EPSRC funded network exploring how social and digital environments can be built\, shaped and sustained to enable all people to thrive. The five-year programme of activities (2022-2027) will build a knowledge community around in/equalities in digital society that will comprise industry\, academia\, the public and third sectors in response to the UKRI Equitable Digital Society theme.

This is to allow us to focus on shaping future calls and reflect on the application of our network’s principals and methods. Attendance will in no way prejudice the outcome of future funding calls\, which are reviewed anonymously by our panel.\n\n\n\n\n\nI’m not an academic or a researcher – will I be able to contribute?\n\n\n\nAbsolutely! INCLUDE+ values all forms of expertise and is particularly keen to engage with organisations and individuals across industry\, the public sector and the third sector. Workshop sessions will be led by our diverse feasibility study teams and Art Iterations facilitators\, and will give a taster of the methods of engagement and co-production methods that they are using. We only ask that you come with an open mind and a sense of curiosity.\n\n\n\n\n\nAre travel bursaries available?\n\n\n\nINCLUDE+ has a limited budget to cover participant travel and accommodation for those who would otherwise be unable to attend our events.
