Knowledge Presentation contest
Knowledge sharing at the grassroots requires the presentation of knowledge in formats appropriate for people with little education and speaking only their mother tongue. We invite individuals and organisations to enter the ‘Knowledge Presentation’ contest to improve knowledge sharing with communities seeking the enhancement of their existing knowledge and skills as a pathway out of poverty. Closing date extended: 15 February 2009 Further details »
