Is digital equity a utopian idea? What do we know about the state of digital equity in relation to broader themes of precarity, civic participation, and well-being? What steps can we take, collectively, to address the problem of digital inequalities?
Join us for our INCLUDE+ CONNECT webinar to explore these questions.
RegisterThe first event in our online programme will take place on 18th October, 2-4pm UK time. We will explore digital equity research, including early findings from our network and examples of inclusive practice. Based on these early findings, we will also be launching our first funding call for INCLUDE+ feasibility studies.
What will happen during the event?
Through thought-provoking talks, Q&A and live-drawing by guest artist Ursula Cheng, we will explore various dimensions of digital equity research and practice:
- Launch of our INCLUDE+ early research findings on digital equity in the context of civic participation, precarity, and well-being
- Launch of the first INCLUDE+ funding call
- Interactive art activities
- Information about INCLUDE+ inclusive research practices & the aims of the INCLUDE+ Network
- Invitation to register for our online workshops, held across a number of dates from October to November, exploring the multifaceted aspects of digital equity.
Who is this event for?
