TELEWISE: Submit your best and most innovative telecentre tip

Sometimes finding a solution to a problem begins with one small idea. Share your telecentre wisdom with fellow community members by answering this simple question: How can we get more women to avail of telecentre services and digital literacy training?

Mechanics:

  • To join this competition, you have to be a member of any of our community sites (English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian) or the Telecentre-Europe community site and post your answer as a comment in the TELEWISE discussion forum in our various community sites from March 1 to 31, 2012. (Englsh Community site members can post their contest entries in this space as a reply to this forum)
  • A tip should just be a sentence long (75 words maximum) and can be in English, Spanish, French, Russian, or Arabic, depending on which community site you submit it to.
  • Your tip should provide an answer that’s clear, easy to implement, and effective. The best tips often don’t need a lot of money to implement, they just need to work. Here are some guidelines on writing a tip:
  1. Make sure your tip begins with a verb in the active voice. For example, a common tip doctors give is “Drink 8 glasses of water every day,” instead of “Eight glasses of water must be drunk every day.”
  2. Follow you advice/action with an explanation for why and/or how. For example, “Drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy”.
  • Each member can submit as many tips as they want but please submit each of your tips in separate comments.
  • A member may only win once.
  • If a tip is similar to another tip that has already been submitted, the tip that was submitted first is the one that will be considered for the competition.
  • At the end of March, a judge/judges will select the best tip from each community site’s discussion forum, leading to a total of 6 winning tips.
  • Judges will select the best TELEWISE tip based on the following criteria:
  1. Creativity, clarity, and relevance to the theme (20%)
  2. Ease of implementation (40%)
  3. Projected usefulness to community (40%)
  • For questions and a copy of the guidelines for the competition, please post under the forum discussion titled, “TELEWISE” where your Community Learning Coordinator will be able to respond to you immediately.

Prizes:

Each of the winners will receive a goody bag from Telecentre.org Foundation containing an assortment of Telecentre.org Foundation gift items.

In addition, the winners will be featured in our “Under the Spotlight” section.

Establishing telecenters that serve women and girls separately.This helps women to freely access telecenter services without fear and male dominated environment. Women and girls Telecenters should be organized to provide internet services and digital training services. The working hours of these centers also scheduled based on women and girls interest. Such Centers are solutions for some Cultures that discourages women and girls from being in a public place with men and boys.

Separating the existing telecenters in to two sections for men and women.Separation of telecenter classes helps women and girls freely access and enjoy telecenter services. It attract more female in to these telecenters. It also solve male domination and cultural resistance that prohibit women and girls not to access public services.

Expansion of solar energy telecenters in rural schools that primarily targeted to serve women and girls with special attention . Schools should serve in coordinating telecenter services and digital trainings for women and girls in the school and nearby villages in addition to the regular teaching learning program. Expansion of solar energy telecenters improve the physical accessibility of such centers to the disadvantaged rural poor especially women and girls.

By creating awareness to women in the communities eg rural areas , women and girls have to be reached through awareness creation which has to be passed to them inorder to know that there are such Telecentres existing in the area unlike in the rural areas where computers are common. The Rural Living standards may block many women who are not aware of the centers from acquiring the knowledge. This means when awareness is created, the environment in which products or services can be developed, using the exchange of knowledge can enable many women available to the centres.

Learning centers should be easily accessible and remote areas should be well equipped
At the beginning it may be a hard to convince women to come to the centres and a few participants may be able to joint but gradually centres can become more established and accessed.
-learning centers should be easily accessible
-interior centres must be well equipped

Use the telecentre network (that means all telecentres in the country are connected to each other) to enable the users to send money to someone who lives in another village (as the post offices are doing or like moneygram). It can increase the income of the telecentres that can bring sustainability.

Bring services and digital literacy training to the women instead of waiting for them to come to the CeCs/telecentres. Have mobile CeCs/telecentres and trainers who can roam around the community for this purpose

Open a “Pedagogy” Services Delivery Program at telecentre . Under these Services all the facilities and training program must be provided at telecentre which leads to early child education and help women to care their children through the help of Telecentres.

Open “Women Counseling and education program” where women must provided with special services like online education, trainings, awareness for new online services .

Establish a Special zone for Women at telecentres so that first they feel comfortable to come at telecentres . A special 6 days program must run at telecntres aiming to literate and educate women and spread general awareness.

Open a Health care program at telecentres with attached service that the women shall not be charged for anything.

Establish and open a new service dedicating towards “pregnancy and infant care” where you must include all the services which a women needs while the pregnancy time and after pregnancy immediately needs the services to care a infant.
