Workshop details [edit]

Digital Disruption: changing how we use the Internet (DRAFT TITLE)

10am – 2pm, Wednesday 24 October, Shoreditch House, London

Demos, Digital Disruption and Wikimedia UK are hosting this morning workshop which examines how our organisations and interested parties can work together to work towards our shared aims around digital literacy, online education and improving the UK's digital judgement.

This workshop offers the opportunity to help shape the Digital Disruption initiative. The initiative will deliver three things:

  1. High quality, in-depth research to explore digital judgement abilities among young people, parents and teachers in the UK and examine implications for education, personal development and social well-being.
  2. The development and prototyping of online and offline educational tools and training to improve digital judgement among teachers and young people in the UK.
  3. A national communications campaign sponsored by industry and government to raise national awareness of the importance of digital fluency and its implications for individuals, communities and society.

The workshop will bring together parties interested in participating in the project. Each will get the opportunity to speak about their interest in Digital Disruption, what they would like the project to achieve, and how they would like to be involved.

There will then be a session where we decide how to take the project forward, along with opportunities for networking.

There are many areas of shared interest here, including online research skills, digital literacy and youth engagement.
