Roundtable with Citizen Participants

On the 17th of January 2022, CIP ran an online roundtable discussion whereby invited community members, including individuals with fewer opportunities in civic action, were invited to share their needs and concerns in terms of participation in Digital Action. Participants and facilitators engaged in discussions as to the benefits of engaging with Maker Movement, whilst outlined both the digital skills needed and required by participants to enable their full and active engagement. Communities interests were focused on the use of 3D printing technologies not only in terms of personal skill development and growth, but also teh potential such knowledge presented for communal growth and the creation of innovative new materials for their communities and surroundings.
