Mini conference – Use of Technology by the Settlement Sector

Pathways to Prosperity recently held their annual conference. I participated in a panel discussing Use of Technology by the Settlement Sector.

I really enjoyed the presentations, and the discussion that followed. There are great and innovative things going on in the sector. You’ll get a glimpse of that in the presentations below.

I’d also love any feedback, comments, critiques about my own presentation, if you get a chance to view it.

Here’s the session description:

Technology has been described as having unlimited potential, and this may include within the settlement sector. In this session, we address how the settlement sector can use technology to improve access to services, improve the services themselves, reach a larger number of immigrants both pre- and post-arrival, reach immigrants at a distance, and present a mode of delivery that many immigrants are seeking. This session will include a discussion of the opportunities that technology presents and the limitations that may be inherent in its use. The session will also include examples of the use of technology in new ways in a variety of contexts.
