Community Informatics

Community Informatics is the study and practice of using digital technology to strengthen communities. It focuses on how technology can be used to improve communication, collaboration, access to information, and local development. The goal is to empower communities to address their unique needs, foster social inclusion, and enhance their well-being. Rather than just adopting technology for its own sake, Community Informatics emphasizes understanding community goals and designing digital solutions that support shared interests and collective growth.
