Join Shelter Scotland on the 19
th of July in Edinburgh where we&rsquo\;ll be exploring &ldquo\;Building a
nd inspiring digital communities&rdquo\;.
This one day event aims t
o bring charities and the tech community together to look at the digital p
roblems charities face and how the tech community can potentially help the
m find solutions
The idea for the event came from a project we&rsqu
o\;ve been working on. The &ldquo\;I need help&rdquo\; tool will help home
less people find and access help in an emergency. This tool was the winnin
g idea from a Hackathon we ran last year\, and which went on to be funded
by Comic Relief.
We&rsquo\;ll be showing our journey from idea generati
on to building the tool.
Through our journey\, we&rsquo\;ve realise
d that as a charity it&rsquo\;s hard to tap in to the tech community to co
mmission work or to find advice and hopefully by inviting both charities a
nd designers\, developers and marketers to the event we&rsquo\;ll be able
to bring these 2 communities together.
We&rsquo\;re keen to learn a
bout the digital problems you face in your organisation so that we can fin
d out if bringing the tech and charity communities together can improve th
e way in which we all approach digital in Scotland today.
We&rsquo\
;ll then help attendees run through the same process so in effect we&rsquo
\;ll be working on your ideas and understanding what the process from prob
lem to solution is.
Who should attend
You work in the creati
ve industries\, or you're a comms person interested in digital.
You're
a marketer\, service desinger or work in research and user experience.
You might be a developer\, product owner or designer and you're looking to
get more involved with the work charities in Scotland are doing.
You w
ork for a charity in any of these areas\, or you're keen for your charity
to be better at digital.
