TIME TO CONNECT
Connecting People with Technology
A Fortnight of eInclusion Events across South Dublin County
20th November – 1st December 2006
Connect’s mission is to deliver a free, easy to use service that enables local communities to use technology in innovative ways to achieve their goals and to put local content on the world wide web. Connect includes a range of complementary projects and strategies that will be implemented in South Dublin County. The combined impact of these strategies working together will achieve the vision. The projects are:
· Connect Me presents an extensive range of local information using an online interactive mapping system, creating a place where people can find accurate information easily and quickly about their community
· Connect Web supports all community groups in South Dublin County to create their own internet content that will facilitate improved information management and develop new methods of collective engagement
· Connect School in St Aidan’s Community School, Brookfield, is developing student centred technology through an innovative learning culture in order to improve school attendance, participation in class and educational outcomes for the students
· Connect Centres is creating a network of Digital Learning Hubs in local Community Centres where local people can access and learn about technology in their own communities, transforming the digital divide into digital inclusion
As well as the timetabled workshops below, there will be many exciting displays and promotions in the Council Foyer in Tallaght over the 2 week period including, various community groups promoting the work they do and their Connect built websites, private companies promoting their online services, interactive displays, competitions and lots lots more!
* Events marked with an asterisk must be pre booked as places are limited. Email us at connect@sdublincoco.ie or talk to us at 01- 414 9009.
