A new conversation

Helen has launched a new community blogging project over at digtialengagement.org which aims to be:

a collaborative space for all those interested in digital engagement to share ideas and agree priorities for action around digital engagement

This is of a much wider scope than digital mentors, and has the potential to be a real hotbed of interesting and vital debate. Helen writes:

By digital engagement we mean the use of social technologies for social good. What do you think we should do on digitalengagment.org? In the immediate future, we want to use this site to create a digital manifesto, what more could we all do, and do together to get more people online and engage in the right tools for them to help them in their lives.

I’ve helped out by setting the blog up, and will be adding my thoughts on digital engagement in due course. The aim is for the site to be as inclusive as possible, so see how you can get involved.

We are going to have some interesting announcements coming up, including how we are going to try and get this conversation going en masse at the Digtial Inclusion Conference in April.

Introducing the big picture!

We thought there was a gap on this blog: we needed somewhere for people to post some of their thoughts which were a bit more general and less work package specific. Musings on the digital mentor project as a whole, or maybe hints and tips for the Voice box bid to consider as we move forward through this process.

So here it is! Remember, Voice box is a blog to which anyone can contribute. Just get in touch with us using admin@voice-box.org.uk and we wil arrange for you to be able to post your thoughts to this site.
