KNOWLEDGE IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE
The EcoSouth Network uses various media in order to share knowledge, from published material to conferences, from e-mails and websites to onsite consulting. There is an attempt to “keep in touch” in one way or another.
While the electronic age has opened up many new opportunities, it has also presented new challenges as only those with access to the new technologies can be part of the game.
Those having the means or access to this world are even more reliant upon attitudes. Having access does not imply communication, nor does not having access imply lack of communication. EcoSouth encourages those with the means to engage at the grassroots level in their own environments.
Only by placing knowledge in the hands of the people can sharing have a sustainable impact.
