A fair, free and sustainable world – that is what HIVOS, the Humanist Institute for Development Cooperation, wants to contribute to. Together with local organisations in developing countries, HIVOS strives for a world in which all citizens – both men and women – have equal access to resources and opportunities for development.

That is why HIVOS together with NewEurasia.net – Blogging Central Asia project supported BarCamp Central Asia 2009 which is for promotion education and media, new skills for new future.

We were so happy to actually have Monique Doppert coming from far away (the Netherlands) to our conference (I personally have enjoyed so much seeing you there, and I am sure many had pleasure to actually talk to you where I have missed a lot ’cause a lot of coference management required my presence), and here I am happy to post a video she has made during BarCamp Central Asia 2009.

Please, enjoy!!

Barcamper’s favourite tools

Last week I attended the Barcamp in Almaty. Again it was a lively and informal gathering of enthusiastic digital natives from all over Central Asia. On this videoclip (6.30 min.) some of them share the digital tools they use most and probable also love most.

…and sent a very very very much interesting link for those of you who is crazy about reporting. And I personally think, it is brilliant!

We are looking for you. The ever-expanding Metropolis network is always looking for new video journalists to join us! If you’re a filmmaker or videoblogger from outside The Netherlands, and if you know your city by heart, you can find out here how to get into the action.

Chances are not everywhere for any time and for everyone. Do not miss yours!
