Symposium and Workshop
The Fostering Digital Participation Project hosted a two-day workshop in Brisbane as part of the National Year of Digital Inclusion and the Designing Interactive Systems conference on 4-5 June 2016.
The two-day symposium and workshop brought together researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to discuss design practices and user needs in social living labs that aim to foster digital inclusion and participation. Day one consisted of practitioner and research reports, while day two provided an opportunity for participants to imagine and collaboratively design future digital participation strategies.
The workshop was conceived as a Living Lab experience with the goal of identifying innovative and practical solutions to foster sustained digital participation in regional and rural communities. Discussion included topics such as developing basic digital skills, youth entrepreneurship, community digital story-telling, and policy development.
