In emergency situations, such as various natural and other forms of disasters, people’s lives, cultures and our planet overall, are affected. These situations can completely stop some regular life dynamics. For example, people are unable to work, schools are forced to close, and cultural institutions can be affected to the extent that they are inaccessible or not fit for purpose. Our overall environment can change in these unprecedented conditions. However, the power of digital technologies shows that even in these challenging times, people can continue to thrive. For example, traditional forms of education or work transition to digital. This session will look into roles digital technologies and digital innovation could play for social development in various aspects, such as education, agriculture and industry, to name the few; as well as into specificities of digital inclusion and development of solidarity-based digital policies.
