A panel of 3-5 experts discuss key themes, followed by moderated audience Q&A. This format allows for diverse perspectives, engaging presentations, and interactive participation.
The digital revolution is transforming our world, but not everyone has the chance to participate. This discussion panel tackles the crucial issue of contributing to a digital society that includes everyone, everywhere.
We'll bring together a diverse group of experts – technology developers, policymakers, and community advocates – to explore the challenges and opportunities surrounding digital inclusion. Our focus will be on developing strategies that ensure equal access to the digital tools and resources needed to thrive in the 21st century.
This session delves into how we can promote digital culture by fostering an appreciation for technology and its potential, and empower individuals to leverage its benefits, in addition to discuss the importance of having equal access to online learning resources ensures everyone has the opportunity to develop the skills needed for success in the digital economy, and bridge the rural-urban divide: We'll explore solutions for ensuring residents in rural areas are not left behind in the digital age, and we’ll discuss strategies for designing technologies that are inclusive and remove barriers for individuals with disabilities
To ensure seamless interaction, we'll utilize a central platform like Zoom with screen sharing for presentations and a designated Q&A queue for both online and onsite participants. Polls and breakout rooms in the platform will encourage real-time participation, regardless of location.
Collaborative document platform: Utilize a platform like Google Docs or Padlet to create a shared document where all participants (online and onsite) can contribute notes, ideas, and action steps throughout the workshop.
Social media engagement: Encourage participants to use a designated event hashtag on social media platforms to share questions, insights, and key takeaways during the workshop.
Pre-workshop communication: Provide clear instructions to both online and onsite participants regarding the platform, session layout, and engagement methods to ensure everyone is prepared.
