Telecentre-Europe Summit 2012 - Parallel Session of Cristina Torrecillas: "Building evidence to measure the socio-economic impact of Telecentres on e-inclusion"
This document discusses urban superorganisms and the SAPERE project. It describes how future cities could become superorganisms through tight coupling of humans and ICT that enables collective participation and action. The SAPERE project aims to define and implement a framework for adaptive service ecosystems in cities using nature-inspired and spatially-situated approaches. It proposes basic eco-laws and self-organization patterns to program applications and steer behaviors in this environment. There are still open challenges around engineering and programming tools, patterns of self-organization, and balancing top-down and bottom-up approaches.

Use of Mobile Devices in Public Access to ICTs: Preliminary results from a st...Sara Vannini
This document discusses a study on the use of mobile devices in public access venues (PAVs) in Latin America. It provides background on PAVs and their role in bridging the digital divide. The study aims to understand how PAV operators conceptualize mobile technologies and development, and whether PAVs are incorporating mobile services. Preliminary results from a survey of 247 PAV operators found that over 75% were stand-alone venues and over half were in Brazil. A word cloud analysis showed operators associate mobile devices with terms like access, connectivity, and communication. The study uses social representation theory and diffusion of innovation theory to analyze the data.
Participatory re-action: reflecting on a Design-Based Research approach in ICT4DSara Vannini
The document discusses Design-Based Research (DBR) as an emerging methodology for studying learning through the design and evaluation of instructional tools and strategies in real-world contexts. DBR is characterized by iterative design, collaboration, flexibility, and mixed methods evaluations. The RE-ACT project applied DBR to study community media centers (CMCs) in Mozambique by examining social representations of the centers, co-designing improvement actions with local stakeholders, and conducting formative evaluations of the actions based on social representations. The project aims to better understand how design-based activities can translate to impactful local development and facilitate community members' role in leading their own improvement actions.

Social Representations of CMCs in Mozambique: work in progress @ TASCHASara Vannini
The document discusses social representations of community multimedia centers (CMCs) in Mozambique. The author aims to understand local perceptions of CMCs using Moscovici's social representations theory and previous work on telecenters. Quantitative and qualitative methods are being used, including interviews, pictures, and surveys. Preliminary results suggest local definitions of CMCs involve combinations of community radio and telecenter services, though definitions of each term vary. The work is still in progress.

This toolkit provides the methodology for focusing the data-gathering power of existing communities, increasing their capacity to work together and building awareness of the potential of the data created by this work. It aims to help citizens identify and articulate their own problems using the supplementing data in their communities.
1. Community informatics aims to empower communities with information and communication technologies through both bottom-up, grassroots approaches and top-down support from funders and policymakers.
2. Both approaches are needed to effectively drive digital transformation - bottom-up mobilization empowers communities while top-down support provides enabling policies and resources.
3. For technologies like ICTs and mobiles to truly benefit development, they must be integrated into existing community programs and activities, facilitating processes in a way that builds on local needs and resources.
The document discusses a case study of Akshaya centres in Kerala, India which provide e-governance services in rural areas through public-private partnerships. It finds that existing initiatives treat citizens as passive recipients and do not adequately address their needs or contextual factors. It proposes a multistakeholder model involving citizens, government, private partners, and local groups to collaboratively design e-governance that is citizen-centric and responsive to local community needs and contexts.

Smart Cities - Measuring levels of supply and demand for e-services and e-gov...Smart Cities Project
Most cities offer some kind of e-government services, from a simple e-mail form to the most sophisticated applications. Often this offer is mainly content- and technology driven, and not based on the needs and expectations of the different target groups. In order to develop a well balanced e-government vision and operation, it has to be more than a (re)organisation of technological platforms. It has to be founded on the relationship between a government and its different target groups: citizens, companies, associations.
The best way to map out this relationship is a well balanced survey that looks at the digital services and information from both a demand perspective (citizen, local companies and associations) and a supplier’s perspective (municipality and city services).
This document discusses transitioning to smart communities and rural environments through open knowledge and collaboration. It argues that smart places require participatory and user-driven innovation where citizens are empowered through ubiquitous apps and services. However, continuously engaging users in collaborative processes is challenging. Blockchain and human computation techniques can help turn citizens into prosumers of public data and services by incentivizing contributions and tracking refinements on open data portals. This can provide actionable open knowledge to better serve rural citizens and enterprises.
1) The document examines the online engagement of community councils (CCs) in the UK through the lens of communities of practice.
2) It finds that most CCs have little to no online presence, and those that do are often out of date or inactive. Only a small minority provide up-to-date information to support citizen engagement.
3) Applying a communities of practice framework reveals that most CCs operate independently with few horizontal links between members, more resembling isolated "knowledge silos" than a self-organized learning network. The project aims to better understand barriers to online collaboration between CCs.
Similar to Cristina Torrecillas: "Building evidence to measure the socio-economic impact of Telecentres on e-inclusion" (20)
The document summarizes the results of Work Package 1 (WP1) of a European media literacy project. WP1 involved:
1) Reviewing existing media literacy learning programs for adults across Europe and identifying needs through desk and field research. Over 200 surveys were collected from stakeholders in 7 countries.
2) The desk research found 238 programs across countries, most being informal (68%). The most common topics were web design, graphics, and photo/video editing.
3) The field research identified a need for basic to intermediate level programs targeting various groups. Respondents wanted training in skills like content creation and editing, and knowledge around content production and digital systems.
The document describes the pilot training for an intergenerational learning project called eScouts. The project aims to develop digital skills in elderly adults through training led by youth volunteers.
The pilot training involves two modules: Module 2 trains facilitators to prepare youth volunteers to teach digital skills to seniors. Module 3 involves the youth volunteers conducting digital skills training for 70 senior adults each in their home countries.
The document provides details on the learning program design, activities, and timeline for Modules 2 and 3 of the youth training pilot. It explains how a common framework was developed and then adapted by each partner country to their local needs and context.
The document summarizes a training workshop for facilitators of an intergenerational learning project. It provides details of the:
- 2-day workshop held in Barcelona for 12 facilitators from partner countries
- Training content which included the project methodology, roles of facilitators, guidelines for working ethically with youth and older adults, and use of an online platform
- Activities during the workshop such as presentations from project partners and interactive exercises to help facilitators learn how to plan and deliver training modules
- Materials provided to facilitators on topics like facilitation skills, working with youth and older adults, and examples of training documents
This document discusses harmonizing the methodological frameworks of Community Service Learning (CSL) and Participatory and Appreciative Action and Reflection (PAAR). It identifies key elements of each such as pillars, aims, values and processes. There are both similarities and differences between CSL and PAAR. The document proposes ways to harmonize the two approaches by taking advantages of their shared aspects like empowerment, participation and appreciation, while addressing potential divergences like CSL starting from predefined problems versus PAAR starting by identifying strengths. The goal is to develop a common methodological framework called Intergenerational Learning in Blended Environments and Spaces (ILBES) that combines the best of CSL and PA
This document provides guidelines for partners participating in the RAISE4e-Inclusion project to transculturate learning modules from the original VET4e-Inclusion project into their own national contexts. It outlines the objectives of the transculturation process, lessons learned from the previous project, guidelines for organizing human resources and the work, and a proposed calendar for completing the transculturation of 2 modules per partner over a 3 month period with bi-monthly check-ins. The document aims to support partners in both adapting content for their language and context, and building the modules on their national Moodle platforms to be ready for testing with target groups.
The document provides a protocol for partners to fine-tune online learning modules based on feedback from a pilot training program. It outlines a three-step process:
1) Partners compile feedback from trainees, tutors, and national referents on the modules' content, training structure, and platform usability.
2) Partners identify issues, find solutions if needed, and decide on actions to improve the modules without changing objectives.
3) Partners implement changes while ensuring coherence and quality, and have tutors check the final modified modules. The goal is moderate improvements informed by the pilot that do not alter the overall training program or objectives.
The document discusses the role and responsibilities of a National Referent in the RAISE project.
The National Referent will act as the tutor coordinator at the national level and represent their country at the European level. They must have strong communication, technological, and English language skills. As well as knowledge of the social and telecentre context. Key responsibilities include installing and maintaining the Moodle platform, registering tutors and students, translating and adapting course content, implementing and guiding tutors through the pilot training courses, and facilitating communication and participation among tutors.

Pen portraits are used to define a target audience by imagining a specific person and considering details like their name, beliefs, where they live, work, and learn, as well as their needs, ambitions, pleasures, and pains. Creating a pen portrait helps ensure communications are tailored to the individual or group by allowing the author to speak directly to the imagined person. Key details to consider include demographic information, peer groups, and psychological factors like what drives and motivates the individual. The goal is to empathize with the target audience and serve their needs in a way they will find most helpful.
1) The Six Thinking Hats strategy is a tool used to lead difficult meetings to successful conclusions by activating different thinking capacities in people that are normally not used.
2) It was developed by Edward de Bono and involves participants temporarily taking on different thinking perspectives ("hats") on a topic, such as critical, positive, or neutral perspectives.
3) Only two rules are followed: participants must respect the perspective of the hat they are wearing and respect other perspectives while staying in their assigned role.
The document describes case consultation with colleagues (3C), a process where colleagues act as coaches to help solve a case provider's problem. It involves six main steps: 1) the case provider presents the problem, 2) the coaches analyze and hypothesize, 3) a key hypothesis is focused on, 4) solutions are developed, 5) solutions are assessed and the preferred one is chosen, and 6) the process is reflected on. Roles include the case provider, coaches, moderator, optional writer and process supervisor. The method is useful for overcoming conflicts, accompanying complex projects, strengthening problem-solving and reflection skills, and building trust between colleagues.
The five whys tool is used to analyze causes and effects through asking why up to five times to get to the root cause of a problem quickly. Starting with a defined problem, you ask why it exists and then why those reasons exist, tracing it back to its origin. The tool can also work in reverse, starting with a solution and tracing out potential effects to check for unwanted side effects and ways to improve the solution. The visual result is a deductive mind map that shows the hierarchical relationship between a problem and its underlying causes or a solution and its potential effects.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

research)
as actors
• Libraries are gaining significance in the area and many include in plans
eInclusion goals
• Interestingly, there are fewer telecenters compared with cybercafés and
libraries.
Main Target groups • Telecenters in area are opened for all citizens but seniors prevail
(from survey) • Libraries open to all groups but ID card required for Internet access
(undocum migrants can't enjoy most of the services)
• Cybercafes overwhelmingly serve migrant population and seldom tourists
Outcomes Identified NA Yet
6. Locality Mapping
Preliminary Findings
Latvia, Zemgale
Context Rural/Ag area with high level unemployment and economic migration of youth
Organizational Type Municipal/State = 66%
(from survey) NGO Sector = 21%
Private Orgs = 11%
Ad Hoc Projects = 3%
Landscape of eInclusion • Libraries the largest actor and play the role of telecenters. All offer a list of
actors common digital inclusion services.
(from survey + desk • Municipal LLL Centers although small in number they provide a wider range
research) of eSkills training and also ICT support for other orgs
• NGOs in Zemgale region usually operate w/small budgets and no paid staff –
mostly run by volunteers (dif. from national NGOs)
Main Target groups • Young adults and children are the two top priority groups for eInclusion actors
(from survey) in area. Coherent since libraries defined these two groups as primary audience
• Unemployed and job seekers considered top priority for 37% of organizations
• People w/physical disabilities target audience for relatively small % of orgs
(21%)
• Women not considered a disadvantaged group in Latvia
Outcomes Identified • Almost 80% provide free access to computers and Internet
• 63% provide basic training. Few orgs provide training for beginners or for
professionals
• Orgs serve as social community centres. 71% consultations on private and
government e-services
• Important advocacy role raising awareness about benefits of digital society
7. Locality Mapping
Preliminary Findings
UK, Sunderland
Post-industrial city with high level of unemployment specially among
Context young adults. One of highest levels of NEETs in the country
Organizational Type Municipal/State = 15%
(from survey) NGO Sector = 64%
Private Orgs = 15%
MISSING 6%
Landscape of eInclusion • Vast majority of actors based in the formal educational sector [interesting
actors in a city with one of the highest level of NEETs]
(from survey + desk • Followed in presence by community-based orgs
research)
Main Target groups • Orgs identified as third sector serve needs of broader community.
(from survey) • Some, however, target needs of specific groups (BME 3 orgs, Youth 12
orgs, and Disability 4 orgs)
Outcomes Identified • Educational and Employment related services most commonly cited as
outcomes
• Public and more equal access to ICT opportunities.
• Disability support orgs primarily create employment and job searching
outcomes
• Youth Centres identified a wider variety of outcomes – access to
employment, communication, recreation
