Context

The London Recovery Taskforce is committed to tackling digital exclusion through a number of initiatives. LOTI will work closely with the Taskforce, ensuring that boroughs’ knowledge, ideas and resources are aligned with this process to make the greatest positive impact for Londoners.

Digital exclusion is a massive and multi-facetted issue that cannot be addressed in one go. Instead, we need to find specific aspects where we have the influence and ability to make change happen. With our bias for action, we propose applying our outcomes-based methodology to identify specific, achievable outcomes that we can work towards with boroughs, the GLA and other partners. This is likely to entail identifying specific cohorts whose needs we can aim to understand and address. See an overview of LOTI's plan for Digital Inclusion.

About these workshops

We propose starting this process with two workshops to understand where we are now; what outcomes we wish to enable, what barriers stand in our way, and what we can collectively do about them.

Workshop 1 will set the vision for what we want to achieve and the problems that stand in boroughs' way. Workshop 2 will focus on identifying practical solutions we can implement together.

Who should come

We warmly invite any LOTI borough colleagues who are working on aspects of tackling digital exclusion to join us.

Joining instructions

Workshops will be held via Google Meet. For security, joining instructions will be emailed to participants shortly before the workshop start time.
