offered a platform for communities and groups outside of the
mainstream media to have a voice and share knowledge. Whilst there
are many notable examples of such activity, the tools to create such
a democratized media space are still often out of people&#39;s
reach.<br>This forum will look at some practical examples of
community media coming from Glasgow, present some current projects
looking to make ordinary people&#39;s voices more prominent and explore
the relationships between the grass-roots and mainstream media.<br><b><br>4=

Technology, Social Justice and the Environment</b><br><br>How can we use
technology for the greater common good? Whilst the advance of
technology promotes the promise of a better world, that promise has
often been compromised or undermined in how we make use of such
advances. Certain technological developments have contributed
to environmental and social problems on a scale arguably never
seen before. Technology, however, has also been used to tackle
such issues as climate change and social injustice. This forum will
share and explore some practical examples being used in Scotland
today, from noise monitoring devices to participatory video and
community mapping projects.<br><b><br>Electron Main Room: RAFFLE -
