Crafting Digital CIC

21/05/2026

This was a truly rewarding project to be part of, generating powerful outcomes and insights from the young people whose lives are most directly affected by these issues. It reaffirms why this work matters and strengthens my commitment to advancing digital equity, digital freedom, and empowered digital citizenship for all via my work at Crafting Digital CIC

Great people, believing in new imaginaries and digital optimism, can change things XD

This report presents new evidence about the experiences and expectations of the first generation of young people growing up with digital technology in early twenty-first century Britain.

Bioregioning Tayside – Reimagining Tayside as a Living Bioregion

Open Call: Artist/Illustrator Competition £1,000 prize & commission contract

Opens 10am, 4th March, closes 5pm, 10th April 2026

We are launching an open competition to find an artist or illustrator who can help shape a distinctive visual language for Bioregioning Tayside, one that grows from the land itself. We are seeking work that listens to the river, the soils, the coastlines and hills; that recognises the intricate patterns of watersheds, food webs, seasonal cycles, and human communities woven together across the Tay catchment. This is an invitation to interpret Tayside not as a map of administrative borders, but as a living, breathing system, dynamic, interdependent and alive.

Digital Change for Climate Justice - Action Workshops

A friendly, hands-on workshop series based in Dundee, supporting people to understand the hidden systems behind the digital world and how they connect to climate justice at a local level.

Across the workshops, we will explore how the internet really works, from undersea cables and data centres to energy use and carbon impact, and how these global systems show up in Dundee and beyond.

Together, we will share knowledge, build confidence, and create resources that help Dundee imagine and grow local digital infrastructure that is community-led, climate-aware, and less dependent on extractive, energy-intensive big tech systems.
Who's it for?

Anyone curious about technology, climate, justice, or the systems shaping everyday life, artists, educators, activists, students, and interested internet users.

No writing or technical expertise needed, just a willingness to collaborate, reflect, and share. Lunch, snacks and drinks will be provided.

Here are some of the upcoming events, workshops and activities we are organizing. These workshops are all free and open to everyone!
