Making Links- A Conference on Social Action and Technology

WHERE? Melbourne University, ICT Building, 111 Barry St Carlton
WHEN? 17th - 18th November 2009

Making Links is a conference that seeks to engage interested people, organisations and groups working at the intersection of social action and IT - including community workers, educators, trainers, not-for-profit organisations, people who work with marginalised groups, activists and researchers.

The Conference seeks to:

• 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 marginalized 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.
