Development of the event

Type: Providing public access to information and communication technology. In my local community, not everyone has a smart phone, not everyone can afford the prices in a cyber café, and not everyone knows how to use computers. Many young people finished school and need the knowledge to use ICTs for job applications, job tests and at their future work. Kids also hear the word new technologies but do not know what to make of them. It is time for all of those people to satisfy their needs to free communication technology.

Development of the eventHow: they come, ask questions, touch the tools, use them for short time

for free, get interested to continue and come back to use them for cheap price.

Added value: they can access E-Mail for free, those with internet-capable phones learn also how to use internet on theirs phones, the kids get free basic computer skills (i.e. MS word)
