Development action with informed and engaged societies
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

A Journey of Hope: A New Way of Learning through ICT [Video]

0 comments
SummaryText
The voices of the beneficiaries of an "innovative" use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education can be heard in this video co-produced by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Bangkok and Intel Semiconductor Ltd., as a part of UNESCO Bangkok’s Innovative Practices in ICTs in Education Project.

The video features interviews with students, principals, and teachers who have been awarded UNESCO ICT in Education Innovation Awards. The teachers attribute their success to the Intel® Teach Program, a research-based programme instructing K-12 teachers on integrating ICT tools and resources into lessons. Working with local governments, the Intel programme has trained more than 5 million teachers in over 40 countries.

A Journey of Hope is intended to demonstrate how integrating ICT into education systems can increase the quality of education and improve outcomes. It also underlines how strong support from heads of schools is essential for innovative use of ICT in the classroom. Its intended audience is government officials, educators, school principals, teachers, parents, and the general public.
