OpenSpace Workshops 67 This is a facilitated, delegate-driven meeting in a fully open format that generates collaboration and creativity. Participants themselves create the agenda, pose questions, raise the topics they think are important, join the breakout sessions they are most interested in, and co-create the conversation. Wednesday 26.10.2011 11:00-12:30 OpenSpace Open Format Session #2 OpenSpace Workshop The Big Question: can social media be harnessed to drive enterprise culture in developing countries? Tech-savvy Kenyan youth are using social media and mobile technologies to deliver 21st century skills training across Kenya. RIM and DOT are collaborating in a unique pilot programme, ReachUp!, designed to train Kenyan graduates to become community change-makers, and using smartphones to promote entrepreneurialism. DOT Interns are taught how to use the power of technology to train hundreds of other young people in enterprise development and critical 21st century workforce skills. The programme helps beneficiaries to use Kenya’s growing infrastructure to create new business opportunities. RIM’s smartphones provide “always on” access to learning resources and a social media platform to support youth-led, collaborative innovation. What public sector interventions and/or policies can be developed to drive these types of projects? How can the knowledge and experience garnered from this project be extended to other developing countries? Through the interactive video participation of Kenyan young people, participants will discover first-hand how technology, applications and social media are used in the community. This workshop invites decision makers in entrepreneurship and learning to share knowledge with industry representatives interested in how ICT can drive entrepreneurship and economic development. Participants will leave with new networks and a shared understanding of how smartphones can enable and drive enterprise culture.
