Values

We Believe

  • in the social inclusion and participation of all people in our networked society (Access to ICTs is a fundamental right of knowledge citizens - not an excuse for using old technologies).
  • in the freedoms of all educators to teach with the technologies and contents of their choice, hence our commitment to Free/Libre and Open Source technology tools and free content.
  • that educational content is unique - and by working together we can improve the technologies we use as well as the reusability of digital learning resources.
  • in a forward-looking disposition working together to find appropriate and sustainable solutions for e-learning futures.

Community Media is any media, or combination of media, focused on and created by local communities, including radio, TV and newspapers, telecentres and new/online and online media.

Community media often exist in areas often under-served by other communication and information media and are therefore vital services. Community media broadcast in local languages.

"Community Radios" as they are called, are rooted in local contexts, drawing on local community membership for ownership, management, staffing, volunteers and organisational development, and as 'expert' resources on air.

Community media, especially radio, are engaged with their listeners and the wider community, working in culturally-appropriate ways and are unique and important vehicles for learning. Please visit our site and share your feedback.
