The Gems of the Earth Telecenter Network (www.gemasdaterra.org.br) is a rural telecenter project going on in Brazil since 2001. There has been two masters thesis works done about the project by students of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. A paper is being published at the ICTD2006 conference.
You are welcome to collaborate with us. I started the project while living in one of the communities for a year and a half. I also wrote a rural telecenter manual in portuguese. I am now based at the Loyola Center for Community Informatics in Columbia, Maryland. Marco Figueiredo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Posted message: Sun, 12 Mar 2006 06:07:01 -0800 Dear all, I am planning my master's thesis on telecenters and empowerment, and would like to conduct a field study according to some existing framework (maybe using Alternative Evaluation Framework by Björn Sören Gigler). My question would be whether there are (appropriate) telecenter research programs going on especially somewhere in South America? By appropriate I mean ongoing or starting field research programs which could be worth asking for help or the possibility to collaborate with this issue. Thank you a lot.
