Blain, is a unique opportunity to hear about life from the perspective of a working, impoverished and disabled Black woman. Blain, an award-winning historian, details the life and accomplishments of Fannie Lou Hamer, a civil rights activist too often forgotten in the narrative of racial justice. Defying the layers of marginalization that threatened to hush her powerful words, Hamer is held by Blain in the same esteem as her contemporaries Rosa Parks and MLK. Through Blain, Hamer’s message is given new life in an age where the same issues remain pertinent. At INFORUM Blain will peel back the layers of Fannie Lou Hamer—layers that ostensibly would have taken power away from her but instead became the very source from which she drew it. This conversation will be moderated by Aimee Allison, founder and president of She the People.

Winners of the WSIS Prizes, recognizing innovative technological approaches to support sustainable development, were announced on 28 May 2024 at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20

Winners of the WSIS Prizes, recognizing innovative technological approaches to support sustainable development, were announced on 28 May 2024 at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 Forum High-Level Event 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland. Overall, projects from 18 countries were presented with WSIS Prizes top honours, showcasing leading efforts to bridge the digital divide, foster digital inclusion, and drive socio-economic progress on a global scale. “This year's WSIS Prizes demonstrate the innovation and energy that exist to find technological solutions to some of the globe's biggest challenges," said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “These are the creative contributions that the world needs in our effort to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals." The E-Waste+ application is an innovative solution developed under the “Thais say no to E-Waste” project by AIS, with a strong commitment to environmental conservation and acting on climate change. The application aims to address the challenges of e-waste management in Thailand by providing a comprehensive platform that encourages responsible e-waste disposal and recycling.The pain points of traditional drop points for e-waste disposal can indeed hinder effective e-waste management. Two significant pain points are: 1. Lack of Track and Trace: In traditional drop points, individuals disposing of their e-waste often have no way to track and trace the journey of their discarded items. This lack of transparency creates a sense of detachment and uncertainty among users, as they remain unaware of whether their e-waste is being handled responsibly and recycled properly. 2. High Cost of Drop Points: Traditional drop points are often made from recycled paper, which can still be costly to produce and maintain. The expenses associated with creating and managing these drop points may limit their availability and outreach to potential users, hindering efforts to promote responsible e-waste disposal. The E-Waste+ application addresses these pain points through its innovative use of blockchain technology and real-time engagement. By leveraging blockchain, users can now track and trace their e-waste items from the moment of disposal at a drop point to the recycling facility. This level of transparency empowers users and creates a sense of ownership and accountability, as they can witness the positive impact of their actions on the environment. Additionally, application's use of blockchain allows for a more cost-effective solution. Unlike traditional drop points made from recycled paper, the digital nature of the E-Waste+ application reduces the need for physical infrastructure and maintenance costs. This cost efficiency enables a wider distribution of drop points and encourages greater participation from users and businesses.

JaWAra Internet Sehat is a project to encourage young digital activists in the region to become community leaders (local champions) who will initiate and drive digital literacy education programs with a local and bottom-up approach, creating changes from the grassroots. This project was undertaken by ICT Watch and WhatsApp, with the support of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) of the Republic of Indonesia, Relawan TIK Indonesia (Indonesia ICT Volunteers) and Digital Literacy National Movement "SIBERKREASI". In their activities, the local champions provide digital literacy education to many elements of society, especially to people in villages/rural areas, children, people with disabilities, youth, and women (mothers), through local approaches that are easily accepted, such as wayang (traditional puppets) show, local cultural content, movies, games (cards/snakes and ladders), etc. This project also develops the distance learning system through https://akademi.internetsehat.id and Digital Literacy WhatsApp ChatBot at https://s.id/kakinat, so the communities can carry out self-learning for some topics, such as combating hoaxes, digital security, personal data protection, etc. The chatbot has already followed by 21,345 participants. In 2021, this program recruited 60 local youth champions (JaWAra) who successfully ran 108 digital literacy education programs in their respective areas. This program reached 29,731 people in 73 regencies/cities from 26 provinces. In 2022, we recruited another 100 local youth champions who ran 186 digital literacy programs, reaching 237,784 people. In 2023, we focused on tackling hoaxes toward the General Election of 2024. The JaWAra were involved in the education in 8 cities that covered 3,681 participants. We documented some inspirational stories of this program (2021-2022) in the book "Bunga Rampai (Multiauthor) Jawara Internet Sehat" which can be downloaded at https://jawara.internetsehat.id/buku-bunga-rampai/ Project website https://jawara.internetsehat.id/

Smartpur, Nokia’s flagship CSR initiative, is a digital village ecosystem project aimed at integrating technology into the daily lives of communities living in remote villages across India. Smartpur is executed in partnership with Save the Children India and Digital Empowerment Foundation. The project intends to empower and support local entrepreneurs through digital technology. Entrepreneurs are provided with facilities to make services across the pillars of Livelihood, Health, Education, Financial Inclusion, and Governance accessible at the village level through Smartpur centers. Beneficiaries of the project leverage digital tools to access livelihood opportunities and skill-based training programs, telemedicine services, education in technology and computer literacy, financial services such as banking, and government schemes and services. The project was first implemented in 2017 with 10 Smartpur centers established in the state of Haryana. The number of centers has since grown to 350 in 2023, established in 10 states across India. Between 2017 and 2022, 40 centers have been exited sustainably. These centers continue to provide the intended services to rural communities and generate a livelihood for the entrepreneurs. The project has created large-scale social impact – it reached over million beneficiaries. Between April 2022 and March 2023 alone, the project reached over 835,100 beneficiaries. Approximately 480,000 people were supported with access and awareness on social protection schemes and services; over 26,900 people sought digital literacy training, career counselling camps and academic support; more than 297,500 people accessed financial literacy services such as conducting digital financial transactions, opening and operating banks accounts, and financial literacy; over 17,500 received telemedicine services and attended health awareness camps, and over 9,600 people were linked with livelihood opportunities, received vocational training, and trained on life skills.

The cultural heritage sector is at a crossroads. The boost of digitalisation and technology are the ultimate solutions for new approaches to engage citizens with cultural heritage. Digital storytelling enables unprecedented forms of engagement and opens up new spaces for educational contexts to explore collaborative forms to understand, preserve and engage with cultural heritage. E-learning tools promote access to cultural content in homes, schools and universities, and allow people to generate, reuse and add value to content, enhancing the value of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Still, education in cultural heritage is commonly perceived as discipline-bound, unidirectional and academic, not consistent with the Universal Design for Learning Guidelines (CAST 2018), which favors a learner-centric approach catering the needs of all learners. Accessibility and inclusion are crucial concepts in cultural heritage for achieving the CRPD (2006), and the UN Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). “Young ArcHers” is an Erasmus+ project that tackles climate change, it helps to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and boosts research and innovation in educational environments at a local, regional and international level. The project proposes a mindset shift in education advocating the use of cultural heritage, as a valuable tool for educators to create inclusive and accessible digital storytelling content for promoting intercultural dialog and social inclusion. “Young ArcHers” intends to offer efficient and accessible interdisciplinary tools to support teachers in incentivizing students, including children with disabilities, and those originating from socio-culturally diverse backgrounds, to discover the value of their local built heritage, use digital technology to consolidate new knowledge, and engage in the promotion and protection of heritage buildings through local and international awareness campaigns.

Lessons from a crisis – How to achieve a climate neutral, energy secure and prosperous transition for Europe and the business sector? All across Europe, business networks have been working actively to increase climate ambition recognising the economic, social and environmental benefits of the transition towards a climate neutral, resource efficient and sustainable Europe. In January 2022, a roundtable brought together these business networks and policymakers to reflect on how businesses can support Europe’s transition towards climate neutrality and the Fit for 55 Package can deliver this transition. The past year saw a great number of policy developments as the EU and its Member States had to deal with the economic and energy related consequences of the war in Ukraine, with the RePowerEU plan, while negotiating the Fit for 55 Package. This event was an opportunity to reflect on the progress made during the past year. Speakers presented solutions developed by businesses to scale up the production and demand for renewable energy, boost energy efficiency, accelerate the decarbonisation of industry and stimulate green investments. They reflected on how policies can enable businesses to scale up solutions to deal with the current climate and energy crisis while increasing the sustainable competitiveness of the EU’s economy moving forward. The event was chaired by Ursula Woodburn, Head of EU office, CLG Europe. Speakers included: - Yvon Slingenberg, Director of Strategy, Analysis and Planning, Directorate General for Climate Action, European Commission - Ruth Reichstein, Policy Advisor, I.D.E.A, European Commission - Pascal Canfin, Chair of the Environment Committee, European Parliament, Renew - Nicolás González Casares, Member of the European Parliament, S&D - Tomas Lindman, Deputy Director General for International Affairs, Ministry of the Environment, Sweden - Peter Wittoeck, Head of Climate Change Department, Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment, Belgium - Ana Struna Bregar, Chief Executive Officer, CER Slovenia - Bjørn K.

Visit commonwealthclub.org/2021gala to learn more or Text Club2021 to 41444 to register and donate today! Join us for a conversation with Joe Weisberg, who makes the case in his new book, Russia Upside Down, that America's foreign policy toward Russia is failing, and we'll never fix it unless we rethink our entire relationship. Weisberg came of age in America in the 1970s and '80s as a Cold Warrior. He studied Russian in Leningrad, and then joined the CIA—just in time to watch the Soviet Union collapse. Less than a decade later, though, a new Cold War broke out. Russia had changed in many of the ways that America hoped it might. It had become more capitalist, more religious, more open to Western ideas. But U.S. sanctions crippled Russia's economy, and Russia's internet-based retaliations have exacerbated our own political problems. Weisberg says the old paradigm—America, the free capitalist good guys, fighting Russia, the repressive communist bad guys—simply doesn't apply anymore. But we've continued to act as if it does. Weisberg asks hard questions about our foreign policy and attempts to understand what Russia truly wants. He concludes that we are fighting an enemy with whom we have few if any serious conflicts of interest, we are fighting this unnecessary war with ineffective and dangerous tools, and our approach is not working anyway. With our own political system in peril, and continually being buffeted by Russian attacks, he argues that we need a new framework. Urgently. Weisberg makes it clear what the stakes are and lays out the foundation for a new American foreign policy for dealing with Russia. Weisberg photo by FX Networks.

The pandemic has hurt many industries throughout the United States. For local news media, the COVID-19 public health emergency was nearly catastrophic. Already threatened with economic demise because of the rise of digital advertising and how consumers use free social media tools to consume news, the pandemic put further financial stresses on local news outlets by impacting advertising from shuttered restaurants, bars and small businesses. All of this came at a time, of course, when local news—with information on the immediate impact of the public health emergency, among other topics—was more important than ever. However, despite the strong challenges for local news outlets, the future may not be so bleak for the industry. Why? A growing number of nonprofit news media ventures are seeking to fill the void for quality local news efforts. Across the country, citizens are increasingly getting local news from new digital ventures focused on a specific region or city. Perhaps most important, philanthropists and major foundations are investing in these new efforts, increasing the chance for sustainability and impact and creating a new future for local news, even at this challenging time. This program will introduce viewers to two nonprofit efforts—MLK50 (covering the intersection of poverty, power and policy in Memphis), and Cityside (with the Bay Area outlets Berkeleyside and The Oaklandside)—as well as to the co-founder of a new venture philanthropy nonprofit, the American Journalism Project, created to make local sites more financially sustainable. Please join us for an important conversation on the future of local news and why the future may be in a new generation of nonprofit news outlets. SPEAKERS Lance Knobel CEO, CItyside Wendi C.

Overall, projects from 18 countries were presented with WSIS Prizes top honours, showcasing leading efforts to bridge the digital divide, foster digital inclusion, and drive socio-economic progress on a global scale. “This year's WSIS Prizes demonstrate the innovation and energy that exist to find technological solutions to some of the globe's biggest challenges," said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “These are the creative contributions that the world needs in our effort to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals." "Our solution stems the challenge of lack of affordable and meaningful Tanzania as recommended by the UN Secretary General’s report on Digital Cooperation. Although there are 6 telecom companies in Tanzania the competition among them has never been pure. There is what is suspected as collusion in pricing fixing of data bundle. This causes Internet poverty and the victims are the ordinary citizens and more so the marginalized rural and underserved urban populations. The problem of Internet affordability took us to the path that we began to think about digital divide as whole set of divides in Internet access, digital skills, and digital gender gap. The end result of the thinking resulted in the so called “strength in numbers”. That is that is it possible to bring people together to share the cost of a broadband infrastructure and monthly data bundle package to bring the cost of Internet down? Is this possible to use numbers in cooperative arrangement to do this? We tested this hypothesis between 2021 and 2023 by establishing a community driven project called Tanzania Digital Inclusion Project. The project aimed higher- connecting citizens to meaningful Internet, creating community network innovation hubs, providing digital skills, digital adult education, e-learning skills for teachers and STEM trainings for girls to reduce digital gender gap. Ten year(10) Objectives of our solution(TADIP). 1. To provide Meaningful and Affordable broaband Internet to 4 million citizens. 2. To provide digital skills to 1.5 million youth and women 3. To engage 100,000 girls in STEM trainings program 4. To establish 200 Community Network Innovation Hubs Approach Our approach is use of cooperative arrangement, where all community stakeholders share the cost of establishing the Internet infrastructure and monthly cost of data bundle. The aim is not profit but cost-sharing to bring down the cost of making affordable and meaningful Internet available for every subscriber in the community where can have the Internet."

Brought to us by Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier, To Rescue the Republic is an epic history of Ulysses S. Grant—spanning from the battlefields of the Civil War to the violent turmoil of Reconstruction to the forgotten electoral crisis that nearly fractured a reunited nation. Desperate for bold leadership in the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln turned to Ulysses S. Grant, appointing him lieutenant general of the Union Army, precipitating their victory within a year. Four years later, as president of the United States, Grant rose to the challenge of Reconstruction by advancing its agenda and aggressively countering the Klu Klux Klan. When the contested presidential election of 1876 produced no clear victory, it was Grant who forged the painful compromise that saved the fragile nation, but tragically pushed the Civil Rights movement even further down the road. In this book, Baier dramatically reveals Grant’s palpable and essential influence on the United States as it suffered through a severe period of internal division. Join us as Bret Baier brings contemporary resonance and fresh detail to the life of one of America’s most legendary leaders.
