Learn about digital at a CAST Design Hop workshop

CAST Logo

Following the success of similar events run last year, The Centre for Acceleration of Social Technology (CAST) is running a free, half-day Design Hop workshop in the afternoon of Thursday 7th February at The Foundry in London. Design Hops offer an energetic and practical introduction to the key concepts of ‘tech for good’ and digital development for charities.

It’s the first step for organisations looking to explore the role of digital in their services, giving them the confidence, motivation and focus to take the next step that’s right for them. Attendees will gain:

  • An accessible introduction to tech and digital design processes
  • A chance to unpack a key organisational challenge and identify how digital might help
  • Connections to peers, experts and funders
  • Tangible next steps you can take to make progress, including follow-up support from CAST and our partners.

If you’re interested, sign up directly at bit.ly/CASTDesignHops or find more info at We are Cast. Registration will be open for just two more weeks, but we are accepting interest for future events as well.
