GEO Nova Scotia Insight Forum: Exploring the UK’s Approach to Digital Equity

January 22 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm AST

Date: Wednesday, January 22, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM AST (Nova Scotia Time)
Location: Virtual

Join us for a compelling virtual panel discussion featuring leading experts on digital inclusion:

  • Dr. Emma Stone, Director of Evidence and Engagement, Good Things Foundation
  • Professor Simeon Yates, Professor of Digital Culture, Department of Communication and Media, University of Liverpool
  • Dr. Chloe Blackwell, Loughborough University
  • Katherine Hill, Loughborough University

Our panel will explore groundbreaking research on the Minimum Digital Living Standard (MDLS)—a transformative framework that goes beyond a single device or minimal access. This research examines what is needed for individuals and families to thrive in an increasingly digital society, accounting for diverse household types across nations in the UK.

The MDLS model has garnered significant attention, influencing UK and Scottish government policies, and aims to drive greater equity in digital access and inclusion.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into a model shaping the future of digital equity!
