The Peace and ICT Research Project website contains some interesting information on the possible uses of ICT for peacebuilding. As noted on the website, the aim of the project was to: "...analyze and identify possible relationships between conflicts and the set of technological and educational inequalities known as the digital divide. Each member of the research team is focusing, in their own local context as well as the global, on the confluence of new technologies/education and the quest for peace and equal opportunity. Thus, the research effort seeks to identify the perceptions of youths and other contributors to policy creation in diverse cultural and economic settings. It will make enquiry into the views and perceptions of youth towards possible implementation of new communication technologies for promotion of peace and tolerance." However, the website itself does not seem to have been updated for over 2 years. Nevertheless, the ideas contained therein form a useful foundation for other individuals and organisations who may be interested in developing programmes based on the work already carried out and featured on the website. |
