[Telecentres] what are your favorite telecentre initiatives?

[Andy Carvin]

Hi everyone,

As part of my efforts to identify interesting telecentre initiatives for 
the upcoming IDRC/EDC telecentres book, I'd like to ask a question for 
general discussion on the list: What are your favorite telecentre 
initiatives, and why?

Do you see it as a model for other telecentre initiatives? Is it 
breaking new ground in some way? Is it successfully integrating 
learning, public health programs, e-government, media production, 
economic development activities, or other services into its mission? Or 
did it start with a development mission of its own and simply embrace 
telecentres as a strategy for accomplishing that mission?

I'm very eager to engage members of the caucus in identifying 
interesting, creative telecentres around the world. The book will be an 
important opportunity for us to demonstrate the role of telecentres in 
global development, and how they're more than just simple public access 
points to the interest. So please post your thoughts to the list; I'd 
love to hear what you think.

thanks,
andy
