A few months ago now, I was invited to take part in a two day workshop on ‘Designing for Social Justice’ run by Futurelab. It was a really enjoyable set of sessions, bringing together a wide mix of people from different sectors, and showed once again the strength of many minds coming from varying perspectives working together.

The results of the workshop has now been excellently written up, and contains lots of useful advice for anyone using the internet or new technologies, I strongly recommend having a read of it.

As the introduction from the workshop webpage says;

This handbook provides guidance on the process of designing a project, product or process that uses technology-enhanced learning to promote social justice.

The handbook is intended to be of use to grassroots practitioners involved in designing new projects and adapting existing ones; to developers designing digital tools and resources; and to funding bodies wanting to ensure robust processes in their supported projects.
