The Fellowship programme isn’t about digital skills, or coding or talking about access and inclusion - and this isn’t about digital service delivery or democracy, open data and digital rights, as important as those things can be. This is about where community intelligence - all that insight about what’s happening in communities - in our community spaces, in our town halls, in our neighbourhood relationships, in our Mutual Aid groups, in our Facebook groups, and how that gets used to shape and determine a community’s future.
Over 4 months, the fellowship programme involved 8 fellows of the Greater Manchester Community and Voluntary Sector in a series of 8-10 sessions and workshops, building collective learning and shared wisdom together.
