Hello everyone - the PCNA is the north American coordinator on the following project -please get the word out ASAP. As Peter put it - *stories that travel* in action. Bev ---------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *July 2006.* The Telecenters of the Americas Partnership (TAP) is pleased to announce the launch of the Operator Exchange Program. The program will promote the sharing of innovative models and practices by supporting relationships among telecenters throughout the Americas. Telecenters bring information and communications technology to communities across the globe. Over the years, telecenter operators have accumulated a vast amount of specialized knowledge. However, there has been a lack of means to exchange this information with other telecenters. By using the Operator Exchange Program's web-based platform, telecenter operators can share their knowledge and skills easily and effectively. The platform is located at http://www.pcnastream.com/exchange. The platform uses a "marketplace" concept in order to encourage the exchange of telecenter-related experience. Telecenter operators may use the platform in order to request and offer skills to other telecenters throughout the Americas. Coordinators are available to support telecenter operators with the exchange process. The program will fund travel and communication costs for select projects. The Operator Exchange Program is funded by Telecenter.org and administered by TAP. TAP is a hemispheric partnership of telecenter networks that includes CTCNet, Aspira Association and the Association for Community Networking in the United States, [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Latin America and the Caribbean, Fundación ChasquiNet in Ecuador, and Pacific Community Networks Association in Canada. ### For further information, contact North American Coordinator Tate Bengtson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or South American Coordinator Oscar Maeso at [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. _______________________________________________ Advisors mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://victoria.tc.ca/mailman/listinfo/advisors _______________________________________________ telecentres mailing list [email protected] http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/telecentres To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
