Digital Inclusion
Building fairer futures, challenging educational divides
12 June 2007, Victory Services Club, London
Overview |
12:30-4:30pm
(Workshop will begin at 1:30pm - a buffet lunch will be served first)
Futurelab is holding an afternoon discussion workshop on digital inclusion, to launch a new programme of work on the role of digital technologies to promote educational equality. This event has been designed to build constructive partnerships with other organisations and individuals tackling this issue, enabling us to work together towards educational equality.
More specifically it will offer the space and time to discuss key issues such as:
- In what ways can the design and use of digital technologies promote educational equality?
- How can we address the new educational divides emerging in digitally rich societies?
We will be launching a number of timely and significant publications - to review research in digital inclusion, to provoke and stimulate new visions for education, and to look towards the future of technology and education. They will be available to stimulate and provoke an open, insightful dialogue.
Ultimately this research programme will provide tools, resources and guidance to policy-makers, learning institutions, networks and practitioners, as well as the educational, technology, media and creative industries.
If you'd like to come along to this initial discussion event, please e-mail events@futurelab.org.uk to register your interest (places are free and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis).
