My new short film GHOSTING has been selected for the @waterfordfilm festival!

It is about g-g-g-ghosts, but also about metaphorical g-g-g-ghosts

For the design heads/ curious folk, I'll be giving a short talk before the panel starts on why digital design follows different rules to the real world, why that's so confusing to so many, and how we all lose from poorly considered design #Bealtaine2022

[Ross Dowd @RossRDowd]

Looking forward to speaking on the "Perspectives on Digital Access" panel this Friday at @BealtaineFest, where we'll be rethinking digital access and digital literacy among older adults. Thanks to @Age_Opp for the invite! Free signup below #Bealtaine2022

We have to question our policies around digital and technological equity as we age, they're not working. This conversation will be important in thinking through the issues and responsibilities @RossRDowd @Re_Live_Org @Helenmanchester @AgeofCreativity @GwanwynAgeCymru

And if you’re still reading: Spree is an exercise app for reducing the risk of frailty in older adults, and encouraging communities to support at-risk individuals.

By reducing the barrier to entry, we aim to encourage more older adults to take up and continue to exercise.
