Find out how you can better support your potential audience to engage with your arts offer digitally. 100% Digital Leeds will talk about the basics of digital inclusion – who is more likely to be excluded from digital participation and why – and the range of support available across the city, both for individuals and organisations. The second part of the session will be a chance to share your experiences with digital exclusion as a barrier to people participating with arts and culture activity, and an exploration of how we can work together to improve digital inclusion for arts participation, building digital inclusivity into your work and accessing audiences that are currently not engaging with you.

This session is specifically for work focussed on adults as participants or audience.
