web design course in kampala

WOUGNET has obtained two spots in a web design course to be conducted July
15-21, 2002 in Kampala. The training is to be conducted by OneWorld Africa
- the OneWorld center in Africa. OneWorld is an international non-governmental, non profit making media NGO whose mission is to harness the democratic potential of the internet to promote human rights and sustainable development.

The Head office is in London and it has about 11 centres around the globe. The OneWorld Africa office is situated in Lusaka, Zambia. To learn more about One World Africa, visit http://www.oneworld.net/africa/

The five days course is being conducted in order to equip NGO staff with the skills to build, develop and promote their websites without hiring an outside helper. The five days training workshop is free of charge to the participants, lunch and teas are provided as well. The only cost the participants incur is transport costs from their respective work places to the training venue for five days.

OneWorld Africa realised that all the happenings in Africa are reported by the Western World and sometimes misquoted. This training is an effort to encourage NGOs to increase the African content on the web, reported by Africans from Africa to the world. The training will take place at the Uganda Global Distant Learning Centre.

The criteria for the two training spots allocated to WOUGNET are:
1) organisation is a WOUGNET member
2) organisation is a non-profit NGO
3) organisation should already have a web site, or planning to build a website in the very near future (indicate when), but lack the expertise.

If you are interested in this training, please send me a note at [email protected] as soon as possible. In your message, please also indicate who is being nominated by your organisation to participate in the training. For those without a website, please indicate when you plan to build the website.
