They use computers, mobile phones, the Internet and cameras to help them: Advocate for themselves; Develop their support networks; and Enhance their social inclusion.

The Rix Centre is inviting some of the people with learning disabilities who use these new tools and practices to demonstrate their work at My New Media Life on 1st October 2008 at the British Museum.

The Rix Centre is supporting them to prepare for the event with a series of ‘New Media Champions’ workshops. People of all ages who have been using new media in life-changing ways in partnership with various organisations across the country will be helped to showcase their work and make effective presentations, mount displays and participate in workshops at the conference.

My New Media Life aims to inform social care directors and managers in the UK on the revolution in social care that can be achieved with multimedia.

 

 

This event is co-sponsored by Social Care Institute of Excellence (SCIE) and supported by BP.
