Ecuador: Day 1 of Conectándonos Ecuador
Following the success of Conectándonos Bolivia, Rising Voices teamed with the Technical University of Loja (UTPL for its initials in Spanish) to replicate the gathering in Ecuador. Thirty-four participants representing a variety of Ecuadorian provinces arrived in Loja on May 24. Although they had different interests, participants arrived ready to learn and to connect with others who are using citizen media in their local communities.
For an Ecuadorian Digital Space with Greater Participation
Rising Voices recently organized a three-gathering in Loja, Ecuador on May 24-26, 2012. The focus of the gathering “Conectándonos” (Connecting) is to provide support and training to 35 participants from underrepresented communities and those working closely with these groups to examine how they can play a role in ensuring that the Ecuadorian digital space is more inclusive with greater participation by all.
