How People Encounter
E-illiteracy and how they can Take Action to Overcome It

Understanding and responding to digital and social exclusion

A two day workshop 11 and 12 December 2006
at Room H216, Connaught House, LSE

Programme and workshop outputs

This two day workshop will explore both: how we can understand the effects that non-use of ICTs has on people’s lives and opportunities; and the experience of education providers in developing new initiatives to meet these needs.

The workshop will be interactive and attendees will be expected to participate in discussion of the issues raised, not just listen to presentations. The sessions will start with presentations and plenary discussion. There will be opportunity for small group exploration of the issues raised. The workshop will end with plenary panel on shaping future research and practice agendas.

The workshop will be of interest to

  • Academic researchers in a number of fields including: ICT use and non-use; ICT education and training; and social exclusion
  • Further and community education managers and teachers in the fields of ICT and basic education
  • Policy makers in the areas of ICT education and access

There is no charge for the workshop but places are limited to ensure maximum participation in the discussion. Lunch is provided. Apply for a place

This workshop is organised by the Penceil Project (How People Encounter E-Illiteracy and how they can Take Action to Overcome it) a joint LSE/NIACE ESRC e-Society programme project
