Social Norms
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Kuh-ken-ah Smart Fair - Canada

0 comments
In December 2003, 6 Keewaytinook Okimakanak First Nations are hosting a community demonstration project to showcase and discuss aboriginal people's use of information and communication technology (ICT). The Smart Fair uses various forms of technology and face-to-face gathering as means of sharing experiences about technology. Organisers hope thereby to enable everyone (Kuh-ke-nah means "everybody" in Oji-Cree) to participate in the experience of learning about how the First Nations communities in Canada have used ICTs to their benefit - and what challenges lie ahead.
Development Issues
Technology, Indigenous Community Development.
Key Points
The Smart Fair is a lead-up to the May 2004 Kuh-ke-nah International Indigenous Gathering.
Partners

Support and financial contributions provided by Industry Canada's Smart Communities Program, FedNor, and Keewatin Tribal Council.
