Making Links is a conference that seeks to engage interested people, organisations and groups working at the intersection of social action and IT – including community workers, educators, trainers, not-for-profit organisations, people who work with marginalised groups, activists and researchers. The conference seeks to:
1. Bring the community sector together to access knowledge, training and development, and to share ideas, skills and creative applications of technology;
2. Explore the possibilities ICTs generate for communities whose voices have been marginalised and excluded from the mainstream;
3. Showcase innovative, grass roots ICT initiatives that create social change and contribute to positive outcomes for communities; and
4. Foster networks amongst workers and activists interested in how ICT can be used to support social justice.
