Dignispace is an innovative and evidence informed digital resource underpinned by the PANEL principles - Participation, Accountability, Non Discrimination, Empowerment and Legality] principles of the Scottish Human Rights Framework [Scottish Human Rights Commission, 2017]. Dignispace was co-produced with students through interdisciplinary research. It is the first such resource on Dignity education using a Human Rights lens to interrogate the abstract nature of Dignity. DigniSpace provides an online space and structure at three levels with focused learning activities for each of the PANEL principles using reflective learning as individuals or in a group. The project was funded by the Sir Halley Stewart Trust.
