Youth Network on ICTs and Digital Opportunities http://ict.takingitglobal.org
Young people can and are harnessing the power of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to assure opportunity, empowerment, and inclusion for all. The "Youth, ICTs and Digital Opportunities" portal was launched on 1 February 2002 to enable young people from around the world to share their experiences on how ICTs can further development. The site features news, people, events, organizations and online discussions about closing the digital divide. Through these interactive features, it aims to foster a global network of young social entrepreneurs on the cutting edge of applying old and new communication technologies to confront the challenges of sustainable development. Become a member! * Share stories on how youth are involved in providing access to infrastructure (e.g. telecentres; radio stations; providing cell phone service to rural villages). * Tell everyone about how young people are developing and sharing locally relevant content on sustainable development through websites, radio programs, and more! * Provide tips on how youth can improve their skills as ICT trainers! * Highlight opportunities for young people to become involved in national and international ICT policy discussions! The "Youth, ICTs and Digital Opportunities" portal has been developed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and TakingITGlobal (TIG) in collaboration with the Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP).
