Forthcoming Conference Announcement
Organised by:
The Community Informatics Research & Applications Unit (CIRA),
University of Teesside,
Creative and Connected
12th - 14th September 2001-06-15
Now everybody's a Media Personality!
Millions of individuals and communities throughout the world are creating
their own Web Pages, joining Internet discussion forums, exchanging
information and providing advice through e-mail, or creating their own
broadcasts through audio/visual webcasting. Most activity takes place
outside the traditional media channels and enables people to become their
own newscasters, artists, politicians, educators, healers, and gossip
columnists. The creative potential of this new media and its consequences
for community regeneration and development is the focus of this conference
organised by CIRA, University of Teesside, on 12th-14th September 2001.
The event is structured to provide an opportunity to explore ways of using
the new technologies to stimulate community development through the creation
of jobs, improve public services, enhance cultural prospects, overcome
isolation, provide business opportunities and foster social inclusion.
Our Keynote Speaker is Howard Rheingold, one of the world's gurus of
cyberspace and digital culture. An author, journalist, and editor, Howard is
also a visionary, a futurist, and a synthesiser of today's ever-changing
telecommunications applications.
