WYN PROGRAMME FORM
 

WIEF Young Leaders Network
"LET'S PLUG-IN EDUCATION " Form
- Providing Digital Education to Those That Matters -


The “Let’s Plug-In Education” is a proactive educational programme conceptualised by the WIEF Young Leaders Network. The programme was the result of an idea to provide digital education to the impoverished societies in the Muslim world, who are especially deprived of access to libraries and proper educational institutions. In light of this, the necessary support to provide educational exposure to these societies has become an imperative in the Muslim world.

There are different existing initiatives to alleviate this problem thus far. One is to support the telecommunications infrastructure of the affected society, another is to provide the computers and the third one is to provide the digital educational content of this service. We therefore cordially invite telecommunications providers, donor organizations, PC providers, virtual universities and academic institutions to participate in this promising programme for the Muslim world. If you believe in education as a key to the development of a community, then this is a programme that would fulfill that intention.

Some would argue that this is a tall order but we are pleased to inform you that there are existing corporations operating in the Muslim world who are already embarking on such programmes in their local jurisdiction. Our idea is therefore to build powerful synergies out of these related programmes and create a workable model that we can export to other countries as well.

In the “Let’s Plug-In Education” session of the WIEF Young Leaders Forum on the 27 th May 2007, you will witness two existing initiatives, one by MIMOS, a Malaysian company embarking on the sale of cheap affordable PCs for the rural communities and one by Palestine Telecommunications, a Palestinian telecoms company working on a fund for the “One PC for Every Palestinian Home” programme. The crux of this session therefore is, how do we connect the two, and how do we consolidate it into a practical model that can be replicated elsewhere in the Muslim world.


You are invited to take part in this “Let’s Plug-In Education” programme as a telecommunications provider, a PC provider, a digital content provider, a donor organization, or as volunteers to administer the programme.
