Meddie Mayanja TLF - Europe underway – all eyes on knowledge sharing and the network

The day started with introductory remarks from telecentre.org (Meddie), Microsoft (Melissa) and LIKTA (Prof. Imants Freibergs). It had earlier been intimated to me that the audience is a mix of experienced telecentre practitioners and new birds - that were unsure if their technology centres and public libraries are indeed telecentres. In my remarks therefore, I underlined the operational definition of telecentres, consisting a place where technologies are accessed for training and information s… Continue
