Intellectual Output 2 Report on hands-on DA activities with citizens and Higher Education staff and students
Overview
Intellectual Output 2 (IO2) aims to enable citizens to voice their concerns through co-creation processes with HE staff and students in Digital Action (DA) projects, and to seek solutions together while fully participating in the knowledge production and sharing cycle. To this end, IO2 focuses on DA projects which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, it introduces the concept of DA, followed by recommendations for designing different types of DA projects and activities that address social change. It then provides a guide for Impact Assessment of Digital Action and finishes with a repository of relevant tools and methodologies that can be used to set DA projects.
