Abstract:
telecentre.org Academy provides skills training to telecentre managers and operators in order to keep them informed of new technologies, increasing their capacity to serve poor and marginalized dwellers at the grassroots level of society. In this issue, the focus is on telecentre.org Academy and the transition to telecentre.org 2.0 Since Philippines will be the new host of the academy, the Philippine success is reported on. In addition, strategies for bridging the digital divide could make telecentres instrumental in coping with climate catastrophe, contributing to human security and other unforeseen challenges. The magazine provides coverage of telecentre events from across the world.
