GoCreat to be represented at Panos South Asia workshop on Multimedia

Even as we have been in the thick of the DST workshop in Holy Cross School Siolim, we have just received news that Gasper has been selected to attend the Panos South Asia workshop on "Multimedia Local Content Production for ICT4D" in Katmandu, Nepal for his work with GoCreat.

The 8-day workshop starts on 22nd Sep, through to 29th Sep.

The workshop will focus on how organisations and groups like GoCreat can use multimedia to give voice to the community at the grassroots. It would also give us an opportunity to see how to use Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) and establish synergies with the media.

This is a major shot in the arm for GoCreat and the exposure gained from this international workshop will go a long way in our endeavours in multimedia with the local communities in Goa.

Welcome to GoCreat

GoCreat is an experiment in multimedia story-telling and innovative pedagogy. It seeks to bring together individuals of various backgrounds with a common desire to use new-media as a powerful tool for expressing themselves.
Based in Goa, India, the group comprises of a photojournalist, a lecturer of the Goa University, a newspaper journalist and a bunch of enthusiastic students. By-and-by you will be introduced to this intrepid bunch.
What can you expect on this blog? As the main description goes, it is a work in progress and will document the experiences of the group as we seek to use multimedia tools and techniques to tell stories.
