Plans for 2008

Three visits to Sri Lanka and India are planned as the foundation for the ‘Moving Content’ project. The research team aims to develop the concept of creative engagement with ICT by conducting in-depth interviews with a cross-section of creative users and producers in underserved communities. Tacchi and Watkins will present interim project findings to Intel Research in June.

Progress in 2007 - new project funding secured from Intel

Jo Tacchi and Jerry Watkins were invited by Intel Research to conduct a one-week workshop at their headquarters in Portland, Oregon. An extremely intensive exchange of research and ideas laid a strong foundation for an ongoing relationship between Intel and CCI. The workshop culminated in a major presentation on ‘Creative Engagement for Digital Inclusion’, presented to Intel’s main Portland campus.
