Grassroots Networking: International Telecentre Strategic Planning Conference

Created By mchandra on 24-Apr-2008 11:36 AM

Location: Százhalombatta, Hungary
Date(s): 22-May-2008 to 25-May-2008

Our goal is to develop a Telecentre Movement that supports grassroots initiatives such as Telecentres and Telecentre Networks which are appropriating Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as tools for community self-reliance, empowerment and local sustainable development. We believe in wide partnership and cooperation aimed at the world-wide telecentre network development and recognize the global initiative led by the Telecentre.org, backed by the Microsoft and many other partners.

In support of this goal it is the intention of the European Union of Telecottage Associations and the Telecentres of the Americas Partnership to convene a telecentre community based strategy planning meeting of interested Telecentre and related European networks, and also to formally launch a Global Telecentre Alliance as a scientific support to the Global Telecentre Movement.

Partners: Telecentres of the Americas Partnership

Organizer: Global Telecentre Alliance & European Union of Telecottage Associations, CHIC Central Hungarian Innovation Centre NpC
