The programme includes some great speakers with interesting opinions and valuable knowledge. There are five exciting 30-minute morning sessions by Jan Folmer (‘How to make money with your podcast'), Marlon Parker (‘Using MXit in community blogging'), Henk Kleijnhans (‘How to get access to cheap Internet…and more'), Nic Haralambous (‘Mobile internet technologies') and Andriankoto Ratozamanana (Blogging for a small audience in Madagascar).

In the afternoon there are two interactive panels, including one with three digital citizens from Voices of Africa, and a debate with some big names in the field of journalism and new media.
As you can see, these hands-on topics are in sync with our theme ‘Technology for the Digital Citizen' and will equip all participants with new-media skills and knowledge that will empower them to create a long-lasting, far-reaching digital voice -just as the DCI aspires to do.

- Workshops -
In addition to the DCI we offer free workshops on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 September for those digital citizens who want to put their newly acquired knowledge and skills to the test. Space is limited and you will need to motivate in order to attend.

Please e-mail your details, name and time and a motivation letter to Elvira van Noort elviravannoort@gmail.com by 25 August 2008. We will then get back to you as soon as possible.
