DigiKnowVember Returns with Over 120 Events to Boost Digital and Data Inclusion

This November, Renfrewshire will once again host DigiKnowVember—a month-long celebration of digital and data inclusion, featuring over 120 events designed to empower individuals, communities, and organisations to thrive in a digital world.

Delivered collaboratively by members of DigiRen (Homepage: Digiren Network), DigiKnowVember brings together partners from across sectors to promote inclusive access to digital tools, skills, and services. From hands-on workshops and drop-in sessions to expert-led talks and community showcases, the programme offers something for everyone—whether you’re just starting your digital journey or looking to deepen your knowledge.

At the heart of DigiKnowVember is a commitment to partnership and co-production. A newly established cross-sector Steering Group oversees the programme, ensuring it reflects the needs and aspirations of Renfrewshire’s diverse communities. This group includes representation from the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (The ALLIANCE), helping to ensure that health, wellbeing, and social care perspectives are embedded throughout.

“The Digital Citizen Panel is a vital space for listening to lived experience and shaping digital health and care services that work for everyone. For DigiRen, it reinforces our belief that digital inclusion must be co-designed with the people it’s meant to support. It’s about trust, transparency, and making sure no one is left behind.”
— James McKee, Digital Strategy Delivery Manager and Co-Chair of the DigiRen Network.

The Digital Citizen Panel is pleased to be promoting a special edition of our November Conversation Café – Bring a Buddy, Wednesday 5 November 10.30am (online webinar):

Engage in Conversation: Access to Digital Health and Care – Human Rights and Good Practice

Chaired by DCP member James, the panel will discuss why access to digital health and care approaches need to be inclusive and how to share good practice.  To join contact:

DigiKnowVember is more than a calendar of events—it’s a movement to close the digital divide and create a more connected, confident, and inclusive Renfrewshire. And with growing interest from neighbouring areas, its impact is beginning to reach beyond local borders.
