Created By admin on 1-Nov-2007 12:40 PM

Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Date(s): 9-Dec-2007 to 10-Dec-2007

The 2007 Telecentre Leaders Forum will take place from December 9 to 10, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, just prior to the GK3 conference.

Background: Connecting & supporting telecentre leaders
The Telecentre Leaders Forum (TLF) is a semi-annual telecentre event hosted by telecentre.org and its partners. The first TLF took place in Tunisia in November 2005 as a part of the Global Knowledge Partnership's World Summit on the Information Society forum.

TLFs help the people leading telecentre.org partner networks exchange experiences and undertake a collective creative process in order to strengthen the telecentre movement.

What will we accomplish this year?
The Telecentre Leaders Forum in Kuala Lumpur will provide a unique opportunity for people leading grassroots telecentre networks around the world to deepen relationships, share skills, and shape the future of the telecentre.org community.

The agenda will be interactive and collaborative, designed to help network leaders share their knowledge while seeking insights and finding answers to challenges they are facing in their work. Sessions will feature exciting projects and innovative practices, while also considering issues of strategy and sustainability. They will provide an opportunity for network leaders to get involved in shaping, leading, and growing the telecentre.org community.

All participants will be encouraged to take an active role in shaping the dialog and creating concrete event outcomes. This year’s objectives are to:

  • Gather network leaders to shape the future of the telecentre.org community, with the aim of catalyzing increased collaboration across the telecentre movement
  • Share concrete strategies and services that networks are using to support grassroots telecentres
  • Define specific collaborative activities amongst telecentre networks, especially in: telecentre manager training, sustainability, network capacity, research, and knowledge sharing
  • Explore what it means to belong to the telecentre.org community, and develop a concrete vision that will guide this community into the future
Who will attend?
A diverse group of 70 to 80 dedicated telecentre.org partners will attend the TLF. This includes representatives from national telecentre networks and a healthy mix of grassroots partners, young researchers, and telecentre activists. This year’s TLF is by invitation only.
