I will also be forwarding her request for writers for this issue. Some of you may be interested in or working on the role technology plays in building peace or resolving conflict. Please think about if this is a possible article topic and get in touch with contact in the below message. On source of inspiration on this topic could be the work of Ibdaa, a Palestinian grassroots cultural center initiative of Dheisheh Refugee Camp. The cultural center offers the very isolated Palestinian population of the camp access to the world outside of its walls. This quote about Ibdaa is from Wired news from 2003..."Cooped up in their communities for most of the past three years of fighting, Palestinians have found a way to escape: going online. Internet use has risen sharply, putting the Palestinians ahead of much of the Arab world. Business people use the Web to place orders with suppliers, university students keep up with lessons and relatives separated by Israeli closures stay in touch through chat rooms." Aside from access, Ibdaa also has educational porojects that integrate technology such as the creation of a downloadable audio report on the "Apartheid Wall" and information on the technology training programs they offer to their constituents. The website is: http://www.dheisheh-ibdaa.net/home.htm Please share any resources you may have that link technology, peace and conflict resolution.
