Join The Space online for two days of inspiring talks:
* Using digital to improve access and inclusion
* How to make social media and online communities safer
* The role of an artist in a digital world
Digital technologies are transforming the way the world operates. For creative organisations and individuals, digital tools are supporting innovation, enhancing creativity and opening up new possibilities to collaborate, share, tell stories, and express ideas and profile talent. Central to this is the role of creativity and its ability to inspire, inform, and record the lives and experiences of communities and individuals across all artforms and sectors of society.
