It’s been a busy couple of weeks sharing and learning through communities and contributing with what we’ve learnt through our Foundation’s activities at events.

Understanding the value of partnerships and collaborations gives amazing opportunities to evaluate projects and decide on plans moving forward.

Conversations at The Things Network Conference earlier this month led to incredible insights into other people’s visions as the tools are now in place to ‘build communities through LoRaWAN’. Great to be part of a global panel talking about adding value to communities and building networks.

And the opportunity to share our strategies to help democratise access of the power of LoRaWAN for everyone through a keynote at the same conference.

Removing the barriers: Empowering communities to make a smarter, more connected world with LoRaWAN.

The presentation explores two areas of our programmes:

1. How can we develop more diverse and inclusive programmes to engage all citizens in real world problems through digital making and adopting LoRaWAN?
2. How can we effectively facilitate collections of digital storytelling projects engaging communities in cities across Things North to creatively solve local issues?
