The research examines contrasts between the various contexts the @FreeDemIndia programme works in - and the hidden tensions inspired by #digitalmedia and #internetacess within indigenous communities. @jsjc_jgu @JindalGlobalUNI

Ideosync's N.Ramakrishnan will be at #IAMCR2024 in Christchurch later this week to present research from our @FreeDemIndia intervention with #Soliga tribal communities in Karnataka. Co-authored with @VenuArora1, the paper presents new insights on #DMIL & #culturalpreservation

[FreeDem @FreeDemIndia]

We're so delighted that the FREE/DEM initiative and our Fellows have been featured in @unwomenindia's new book #हम, featuring women and girls who are trailblazers in their fields! What an honour for us to be in the company of such great women! #Hum #WomenWhoLead @IdeosyncMedia

[FreeDem @FreeDemIndia]

Congratulations to the #FREEDEMSoliga volunteers and team!
Welcome to the initiative, and we hope it will help you all build #DMIL skills that will help your community engage with #onlineresources and #digitaltools safely, equitably and responsibly!

The @FreeDemIndia initiative is expanding!
We just completed the 1st training in our new year-long #FREEDEMSoliga initiative, which addresses #Soliga tribal communities in the BR Hills of #Karnataka with #DMIL skills & knowledge! #DigitalSkills #MIL @VenuArora1 @waccglobal

[IdeosyncMediaCombine @IdeosyncMedia]

The latest #ASER report underlines the stark divide in #digitalaccess between rural & urban populations - as well as the vital need for #DMIL training for #women & #girls in #marginalised communities. That’s what our @FreeDemIndia initiative has been doing for the last 8 years!

Delighted that @the_hindu covered our @FreeDemIndia initiative, which teaches #DMIL skills to women & girls in slum areas in peri-urban Delhi. Hugely important to address the #digitaldivide, and especially the #gender dimensions of that divide.

The @FreeDemIndia initiative has seen so many young girls reclaim the #online #space #digitalliteracy #medialiteracy #participatory #communication

[IdeosyncMediaCombine @IdeosyncMedia]

Small error, though: The article calls FREE/DEM an NGO. @FreeDemIndia is actually an initiative of @IdeosyncMedia, which works on issues of #mediaccess, #mediademocratisation & #FoE. @vaishnaroy @frontline_india
