telecentre.org@GK3: A report for community feedback

[telecentre.org]

GK3 was a major milestone for telecentre.org.

Two days before the main event, on December 9 and 10, telecentre.org hosted the Telecentre Leaders Forum (TLF), a participatory gathering that created deeper relationships among community members; provided an opportunity to share skills, experiences, and strategies; and resulted in the development of a community charter outlining shared values and priorities for the future.

Then, within the main GK3 program, telecentre.org organized the “Telecentre Track @ GK3” — a series of workshops and panels that showcased innovative approaches and successful programs, highlighted gaps and implementation challenges, and provided learning opportunities through peer assists, case studies, and research presentations.

But the movement’s vitality was most tangible in the telecentre.org village — a huge, lively space within the exhibition hall featuring seven demonstration telecentres, a community multimedia centre, a presentation stage, and a lounge filled with people chatting, using public computers, and browsing posters, brochures, and publications from telecentres around the world.

The attached report summarizes telecentre.org's activities at GK3. It is a preliminary version that we are sending out to the community to get comments and feedback, which can be incorporated into an updated version.
