Launch event presentation

Posted by irislapinski on September 22nd, 2009

As a follow-up to our launch event at the Hub last Friday here comes the presentation which is separated in 3 parts:

  • Background about CDI, its history, impact and operating model
  • Summary of the digital inclusion research
  • Outline of the pilot programme for CDI Mobile

As presented during the evening, CDI is now taking its trusted and tested PC-based model to the mobile internet. Our vision for CDI Mobile is to enable people in low-income communities to use, design and develop mobile apps for social change and community action. In order to achieve this we will start with small groups of young people in deprived communities in the UK who are not in employment or formal education. CDI will be developing a new curriculum that takes advantage of the multimedia and geo-location capabilities of smartphones as well as the attractiveness of these devices to young people.

Any comments on this blog or on Slideshare are highly welcome. You can also email me or Mauricio directly via the address shown on the last slide of the presentation.
