INFORMATION- about the initiative(s)
COMMUNICATION- between people
TECHNOLOGY- ‘tools for talking’
• Balanced (horizontal) model
• Use of ICT i.e. Internet and mobile phones
• Technology is the foundation (hardware, running costs, training etc.) and gives the ‘tools
for talking’
• Information about the initiatives is built up while they are in progress and remains freely
available for future reference
• Effective communication so questions can be asked and answered
• Emphasis on informed choices enable effective use of financial resources
• Communication (two way) enables the development of relationships and a collaborative
community with global perspectives and local projects
• Scaling is through copying and local adaptions shared with the online global community.
