{"event":{"id":280275,"name":"Digital Literacy in the Immigrant Refugee Serving Sector - Increasing Collaboration","description":"

Digital literacy (equity, and inclusion) is a topic of focus, effort, and also a knowledge gap in our work. Many organizations are doing work in this area. Some of that work is formal and funded. Much of it is ad hoc and organizationally specific. We know some of the things. We don’t know what we don’t know. One way to find out is to create opportunities for collaboration.

And that is what this day is for.

Increasingly, organizations are interested in “working out loud” to share their information, what they’ve learned, even their specific project products with other organizations.

Most organizations surveyed want to learn from and share with each other. They also indicate that the information ecosystem in our sector is fragmented, time is a challenge, and that they are both overloaded with information at the same time that they don’t know where to find some information they need.

Who should attend?

You and some of your team!

Frontline and managers actively working on digital literacy and digital citizenship projects

Leads and staff who are delivering online programs and projects

What are you committing to?

Three hours online. No commitment to anything beyond (unless the group decides to continue).

Commit to sharing. It can be a resource, project, piece of research, content, or a question you have. Participants will be asked to share before, during, and after the event. All resources will be shared publicly with the entire sector through the various Communities of Practice that already exist.

Hello, and welcome to Digital Literacy in the Immigrant and Refugee-Serving Sector! This event is hosted by NorQuest College and Marco Campana, who in addition to their regular work, wanted to create an opportunity to start collaboration on this important topic.

We hope you are as excited as we are to talk about digital literacy (equity, and inclusion) in the immigrant and refugee-serving sector. It is a topic of much focus, effort, and also a knowledge gap in our work. Many organizations are doing work in this area. Some of that work is formal and funded. Much of it is ad hoc and organizationally specific. We know some of the things. We don’t know what we don’t know. One way to find out is to create opportunities for collaboration.

And that is what this day is for.

We hope you will learn, contribute, and share something you are working on our curious about. And that you make some connections that will be useful for you in your work.

Some reminders:
