New media for youth empowerment
MTDS is supporting the Association Tanmia.ma in its current strategy to empower Moroccan youth to become multimedia content producers in the Web 2.0 era. The next generation Web, popularized by sites such Flickr ou YouTube, is quickly transforming the Internet user from a passive consumer to an active contributor in a global network. The appeal of this new form of social networking is strongest among the “younger generation” and offers opportunities to channel disaffected youth into positive forms of community participation.
Teaching the Teachers! (a collaborative work with MEARN)
In 2005 and 2006, , MTDS worked with the Moroccan NGO Morocco Educational Resource Network (MEARN) to deliver training to over 2000 teachers and vocational training instructors.
