Digital Leaders is a new and exciting opportunity for Coventry University students to develop digital skills and learn techniques to pass those skills on to others. No matter whether you already are digital savvy or not, enrolled in a undergraduate or a postgraduate course, applications from any students eager to increase their own understanding of the digital world and help others do the same are welcome.

If you are interested in applying to become a Digital Leader you will need to register to attend one of the Intro Sessions, on the 31st of October or the 4th of November. In addition, you will need to attend two thematic workshops and the final session.

For your convenience we will repeat each session twice, so you can pick the dates and times that work best for you. Although you only need to attend two out of the three thematic sessions (*) we do encourage your attendance at all of the sessions, as we hope you will find them exciting and beneficial! All sessions will be taking place at The Disruptive Media Learning Lab (3rd Floor of the Lanchester Library).

After attending the sessions you will need to submit an application explaining why you want to become a Digital Leader and how you would plan to pass what you’ve learnt on to your peers. The team of Digital Leaders will need to devise and deliver a number of initiatives (campaigns, workshops, events) throughout 2016-17. There will be catch up meetings on a regular basis and guidance and support will be available from the co-directors of the programme and other members of the team.

Why should you become a Digital Leader?
