Explore effective ways for Utilizing Digital Space to Strengthen Social Connections by joining Healthy Places by Design’s webinar on September 24 from 3-4 pm ET. We live in a digital world and it is imperative that we utilize social media, online forums, and other technology in ways that support health and a sense of community. What are the key qualities of healthy online platforms? What can we learn from the design of physical public spaces that can be translated to digital spaces? Deepti Doshi, Co-Director of New Public, will answer these questions and highlight the Civic Signals – a research-backed framework with practice-oriented guidance and examples for using digital spaces to strengthen social connections. Jason Van Driesche, Chief of Staff with Front Porch Forum, will describe their community-based approach and app that is a shining example of public-friendly digital design.
Register for the webinar here and be sure to hold time on your calendars to join the post-webinar discussion group on the same day from 4-5 pm ET where you can engage in deeper discussions with presenters and peers about the webinar topic. A link to join the discussion group will be provided during the webinar.
