Below is a summary of Citizens Online.
I found out about this through Microsoft's (The guys with all the money)
Community Learning Awards. I sent an email last year (response below).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's definitely worth checking this out; any Organisations in Knowle West who
want to use ICT as part of their programme, building on the progress made
through the Digital Challenge, Connecting Bristol and Bristol Wireless.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Citizens Online exists to promote Universal Internet Access and to tackle the
issues of Digital Inclusion.
We can create innovative, cross-sector partnerships to promote digital
inclusion and related issues, such as e-learning, uptake of e-government
services, employability, job creation and basic skills, community communication
and cohesion, social inclusion, etc.
We work in a number of ways, which when combined in local or regional packages,
offer a powerful approach to digital inclusion that can be both sustainable and
scalable:
Delivering projects that enhance social inclusion, communication and
connectivity in some of the most deprived communities in the UK. See our
programme EverybodyOnline and our work on e-voter inclusion for further
information.
Working with Business in partnerships to create action programmes and in
particular promoting collaborative working through our Alliance for Digital
Inclusion. We also support several award schemes of companies focussed on ICT
in the community.
