A 4 day "Website Development Training Wokshop" was organised by ESG in collaboration
with Oneworld - South Asia at the software training centre of SASKEN Communication
Technologies Ltd., the sponsor, between 18-21st January 2001. Over 15 NGOs
and people's organisations participated in the workshop, and achieved the
purpose of setting up the trial websites. This was the second such initiative
of ESG with Oneworld - South Asia, the first being a similar training conducted
30 October - 1st November 1999 in collaboration with One World (South Asia)
and sponsored by Philips Software at its Software Development Centre. Over
20 NGOs from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu had benefited then. Post-workshop
training is enabled by way of email discussion groups and by holding refresher
courses. The effort is to help build Web Solidarity amongst NGOs and direct
stories on a variety of environment, development and human rights initiative
onto the One World website. A report on the workshop is available.
