Our Aims
1 To develop the creative potential of the Internet as
a publishing resource for young
people.
2 To use the Internet as a forum for cross cultural exchange,
giving people the opportunity to share their own values,
experiences and expectations with others and to learn
something of alternative cultures and lifestyles, thus
ultimately working towards better understanding.
3 To use creative applications of
new technology to help train young people in the technical skills they will
require for tomorrow’s workplace.
4 To address issues of equal opportunity in the way
new technology is accessed and applied.
What We Do
We are facilitators and actively look to develop ways of
helping people access new technology and use it positively as
a means of creative expression. To achieve this . . .
1 We work in
partnership with schools, community groups,
libraries and other organisations working in the education
and cultural sectors.
2 We undertake creative education projects, using new technology as the
primary medium of expression. We help young people access and
interact with material published on the Internet . We also
encourage young people to explore ways of expressing their
own ideas creatively in designing their own web pages and web
sitest hus helping a new generation of writers, artists and
musicians work with multimedia text, image and sound.
3 We set up exchange
projects using the
Internet to establish links between groups of people
world-wide and facilitate cultural and inter-genrational
exchange through a variety of linked learning activities.
4 We offer training
for teachers, student teachers, and other education
providers, showing how new technologies can be used
creatively to enhance the quality of teaching and learning
across the curriculum
.
