Building on the insights from the two “Driving Digital Inclusion in Your Community” events on 16 and 23 October, our final session in our digital inclusion event series explored practical ways to navigate the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation for civil society organisations. Participants gained actionable insights, practical tools and the opportunity to engage directly with the following speakers and experts:
- Emily Nelson (The Wheel) presented the results from the two preceding digitalisation consultations, highlighting sector-wide needs, priorities, and opportunities.
- Mairead O’Connor (The Wheel) outlined emerging digital skill requirements and strategies to upskill the sector.
- Liz Kelly (Enclude) shared actionable do’s and don’ts from digitalisation efforts across the sector.
- Dola Twomey (Sexual Violence Centre Cork) provided a case study example of their successful digital transformation journey as a civil society organisation.
- Lauren Carroll (The Wheel) and Christina Nuhr (The Wheel) detailed funding options, including national opportunities and relevant EU funding programmes to fund digitalisation for civil society organisations.
