ARC/UNESCO/UNDP Finding a Voice Project

The Finding a Voice project (2006-08), was a collaboration between Queensland University of Technology, University of Adelaide, Swinburne University, UNESCO and UNDP.

The project established a network of 15 local media and ICT initiatives across India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Local embedded researchers worked in each of these initiatives, with the goal of understanding how creative engagement with ICT can be both effective and empowering for positive social change.

Researchers

The lead researchers included A/Prof. Andrew Skuse; Prof. Jo Tacchi, Prof. Stuart Cunningham and A/Prof. Jerry Watkins. For me detail on the team please visit the Finding a Voice website.
