Season's Greetings from the DLIVCC


Hello Reader,

As the year winds down, here are a few highlights that I've been reflecting back on:

  • Digital Munya 3
  • Digital Lab Days, Edinburgh & Glasgow
  • Launching our online Academy

Thank you for being part of our Digital Lab community in 2025!

The team and I will be taking a much-needed winter's break for the rest of December, but we'll be back in January with exciting new projects and updates to share.

Til then, wishing you and yours peace, joy, and hope this festive season.

Warmest wishes,

Glaire
