Closing Program and Launch of El Alto II
In 2007, we launched the teaching of participatory media, with emphasis on blogs. Blogs are webpages that are easy to use and it allows bloggers to communicated with the rest of the world by writing about their daily lives. Bloggers can share text, images, audio and video. It is not difficult to use. If one can use e-mail, then it is just as easy to blog.
n the first pilot project, El Alto I, 20 individuals participated with www.vocesbolivianas.org, and the website for the first project El Alto I can be found at www.vocesbolivianas.org/elalto , and included individuals that wanted to show “the other side” of El Alto. There are also translation websites in Aymara aymara.vocesbolivianas.org and English english.vocesbolivianas.org
The Closing Program for El Alto I will take place:
