<strong><b><font face="Times New Roman">What are the opportunities and risks of
‘low-cost devices for education’ initiatives? What is the way forward? </font></b></strong><br>
<br>
UNESCO and infoDev (The World Bank) would like to invite you to participate in
the ‘Low-cost Devices for Education’ meeting taking place in the ITU, Geneva,
Switzerland from 21 22 May 2008. This meeting will be open to all and will be
an opportunity to learn the latest about numerous devices and share information
about applications, experiences and approaches. More importantly, the event is
designed to request input and invite collaboration in designing a series of
activities (sponsored research, capacity building and outreach, needs
assessments, evaluation tools) to help build consensus around common sets of
practical issues and challenges with regard to low-cost devices, and to help
aid all of our work.<br>
<br>
Partners and stakeholders from international organizations, private companies,
universities, financial institutions, and civil society will join this event,
which will take place alongside the follow-up meetings on the World Summit on
the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva. <br>
<br>
The meeting will take be held at the office of the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) on 21 May. Results from this meeting will
be reported on and discussed during the official WSIS consultation meeting on
e-learning (C7) at the ITU, on the afternoon of 22 May.<br>
<br>
The attached draft agenda gives you more details on the objectives of the
meeting and topics of discussion. You may register for these meetings at<br>
