Webinar Series

Monthly ICT4D Webinar Series with

Development, humanitarian, and technology experts from public, private and civil society explore vital themes around the application of digital innovations and the responsible use of data – in a learning environment that is both inspiring and informative.

Our inclusive webinars are designed to provide practical and actionable advice, featuring short case studies and interactive Q&A sessions that will last for one hour.

NEXT WEBINAR:

 

Tuesday June 8 – 7-8am PT, 10-11am ET, 3-4pm GMT

Programing at a distance and the increased use of digital solutions during the pandemic have created an even stronger need for organizations to skill up internally and support their implementing partners.

ActionAid, CRS, IREX, and the Maternity Foundation will share their lessons learned from the past year on developing and implementing digital skill frameworks and trainings for colleagues or partners, and discuss barriers of virtual learning.

Digital skills

  • What digital skills are needed? Updating agency-wide knowledge management and digital learning
  • Trends in capacity building, skill standards, and tools to support digital skills training.

Inclusive Virtual Learning

  • What have we learnt about digital inequalities – around access, affordability, readiness – in virtual learning during the COVID-19 crisis?
  • How does the move into online learning tend to exacerbate exclusion? And what can we do to mitigate this?

Collaboration

  • How are we redefining roles and skills within one organization?
  • How to ensure virtual collaborations are not a one-off due to COVID-19, and that current plans for virtual learning and collaboration continue to empower local teams and partners?
