Sub-region.*





Activity Name:              Mekong ICT Camp 2015

Date:                               June 7-12, 2015

Place/Country:             Collage of Innovation Thammasat University,

*WHO CAN APPLY?*

·        All developers, journalists, development workers and social
workers are welcome

·        Participants are welcome from EVERY Mekong-region country, and
elsewhere

·        Around 60 participants will be selected from the Mekong
sub-region, with others from outside the region



*WHAT IS THE EVENT’S FOCUS?*

This workshop will focus mainly on already existing developmental projects
in Mekong countries, trying to solve data and technological problems
related to issues such as:

·        Environmental and social impacts of development projects such as
dams, mines, oil and gas, road construction or land concessions

·        Disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation

·        Health, education, civil rights and others.



*HOW IS THE EVENT ORGANIZED?*

The workshop brings together development workers, journalists and others
who are looking for solutions to their data problems. These problems can
involve data collection, analysis or visualisation.

These “project initiators/problem owners” present their problem to software
developers, hardware makers and data experts, who, if interested, will work
with to find tech solutions for their projects.



*WHAT IS THE COST?*

For those from the Mekong-region: we will sponsor all your travel,
accommodation and program costs, but we ask for a contribution of USD50
from each participant. This sponsorship is available for participants from
the Mekong sub-region (Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and
Yunnan; China), including those who are originally from elsewhere but
currently working on projects that related to the development of the Mekong
region and its people.



Participants from outside the Mekong-region: Limited numbers of PARTIAL
sponsorship (camp fee and accommodation, but not travel cost) are available
for those outside Mekong Region.



*HOW DO I PREPARE?*

·        Development workers, journalists and others with data and
technical problems to solve should bring descriptions of those problems,
resources, reports, datasets, equipment or anything else that will help
others understand and solve the problem

·        We want participants to lead discussions. All participants can
consider bringing problems, ideas, stories, tools, equipment or websites to
present to others.

·        A computer is required in most of the hand-on sessions.
Participants are advised to bring their personal laptop computer with them.
The camp will not provide computer to participants.

·        If you have camera, video recorder, voice recorder, wifi router,
Raspberry Pi, Arduino or any other equipment, please bring them, as you may
find it useful and interesting to use them during the workshop.
