During the Forums I came across the term Digital Divide and to my surprise WE (the Haves) were responsible for it. So I had in my mind that the very first thing is to do is to create awareness in Pakistani Youth about the Digital Divide, What it is? Why some of us are responsible for it and why some of us are affected by it? The Youth Forum was an extremely inspiring experience for me that expanded my visions and gave me the courage to share my ideas and experiences with my fellows (at Pakistan). “Human Network” emerged from Youth Alumni cooperation and it was a great platform where we discussed our ideas. Meetings with the Human Network members led me to discuss with my university friends at Pakistan, the idea of a Seminar about Digital Divide. We slowly developed the idea into a proposal, which the Vice Chancellor of our University, appreciated. Our University Administration helped us a lot in this regard. Finally, we were able to conduct a seminar on “Digital Divide and Its Impact
on Global Peace” on the 1st of December 2004. We hosted an audience of 315 (much
more than we expected) and the sessions went great.
You can have detailed information about the
Seminar the following link:
