“Indonesia Act Local Think Global”
The project empowers communities through education development and new media. This program advocates and stresses the importance of access to information and rights based education. By creating online forums, websites, digital libraries and interactive learning programs, a voice is given to underserved communities.
Unlocking and connecting people through the digital network not only changes lives it both enhance mutual understanding.
Two ways-communication and live stream recordings using a web cam offer the possibility to gaze into people’s daily life routine. The program elevates education to an interactive and global level. It opens spaces to communicate freely and to share information without government restrictions. Moreover it marks the next step in the digital progress, from the social forums, to the "knowledge forums".
