    Allocations
    Allocate participants into country / sub-regional groups (6 groups). The division will be based on the available number of participants from each individual country. Country groups can be established whenever we have 5+ participants from the same country; otherwise sub-regional groups will be formulated. Among the 6 groups we will have: ONE Egyptian group, ONE African group, ONE European Group and Three country or sub-regional MENA groups. Participants from other countries all over the world will choose which group to join.
    ­
    ICT tasks
    Small subgroups in each of the country / regional groups undertake small ICT projects during the week. These small subgroups will include experienced and not-so-experienced users of ICT. The following list of tasks is indicative. Not all tasks need to be carried out but every member should be involved in at least one task.

  • Write to the existing IPHU alumni blogspot (introducing our group, what our project is, seeking advice perhaps)
  • Take photographs of the group at work, procure a shared space for the group in a photo sharing place and upload the photos and email all members of group to visit
