Making Links will:
- Bring the community sector together to access resources, training and services, and to share ideas, skills and creative applications of technology.
- Explore the possibilities ICTs generate for communities whose voices have been marginalised and excluded from the mainstream.
- Showcase innovative, grass roots ICT initiatives in community cultural development, outreach, and e-learning.
- Build and develop networks amongst workers and activists interested in how ICT can be used to support social justice.
Making Links is currently inviting proposals for presentations and workshops broadly related to themes of ICT & Community, Responsibility and Sustainability.
The conference will also include practical skills-building sessions and networking opportunities for workers and volunteers with an interest in web development, multimedia, Web 2.0 and mobile technology.
