The need
Starting in the summer of 2022, Digital Promise and NationSwell partnered to work towards driving equitable digital transformation in schools and workplaces. The Digital Promise team looked to NationSwell to build cross-sector connections & elevate existing work to help close the digital learning gap in the United States — providing essential insights and connections to national experts on education system design & the future of work.
The action
Our team took a collaborative approach to understand the most vital cross-sector actions to drive toward a future where digital innovation is accessible for all people in education systems and workplaces. Through desk research, an event series, and the creation of an insights report, our teams worked with over 100 individuals to surface 19 recommendations for business leaders, philanthropists, educators, developers, policymakers, employers, researchers, & the public.
As a part of this work, NationSwell embarked on three key workstreams:
The team discovered learnings, insights, and calls to action through these workstreams, which resulted in publishing a 50+ page insights report for leaders and individuals to take meaningful and impactful action on harnessing digital tools to promote equitable practices. The insights report serves as a launching point for cross-sector collaboration by highlighting case studies of promising solutions, key learnings & insights from the event series, & actionable next steps.
