This course is a small slice of a much bigger vision for digital justice. It offers insights and ideas for bringing about ecological and social justice, human rights, and democracy wherever digital technologies touch our lives. The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) and the World Council of Churches (WCC) among other partners have taken big steps in bringing this vision to life.

In September 2021, along with ecumenical partners Brot für die Welt (Bread for the World), Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland (Evangelical Church in Germany), Evangelische Mission Weltweit (EMW, Association of Protestant Churches and Missions in Germany), and the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF), they brought together researchers, educators, activists, and faith and civil society leaders in a hybrid symposium, “Communication for Social Justice in a Digital Age.”

People from all over the world shared with each other how digital transformation has impacted their communities and their needs and hopes for the future. Participants listened and spoke, discerned and questioned, and together wrote a manifesto charting our course forward. The manifesto that resulted, entitled Communication for Social Justice in a Digital Age, is a declaration of our hopes and ambitions.
