The Digital Citizen Indaba 5.0 will this year take place on 07 July at Rhodes University in Grahamstown. Our theme this year is “Africa’s Underdevelopment: Digital Citizens Talk Back” and concentrates on the use of new media tools in exposing crucial information about natural resource exploitation, mega-events (like the FIFA 2010 World Cup) and disasters in Africa. DCI 5.0 discusses the role of citizen media: which stories are important to tell and how can citizen journalists tell them?

Once again, EvN Media is one of the coordinators of this annual event. The team is currently busy compiling the programme. We have made a first selection of speakers and projects that we will showcase but if you have any suggestions you are welcome to let us know. Our contact details are on the DCI website. Read our Concept Document for more information.

Cheers to a Productive, Creative, Healthy and Awesome 2010!
