Date: 28 June 2002
Timetable: 8h00 – 15h30

I.
OPENING
The workshop was opened by Mr Benedito Chavane, representing the CAL.
On behalf of UNESCO, Polly presented a computer and respective accessories to the
telecentre. She explained that UNESCO was making this gesture as part of its programme
for promoting the use of ICTs by the communities. She stressed that the computer is a
tool for use by the volunteers involved in the CD-Rom project. It belongs to the telecentre
and will stay there after the project is completed.
Each participant then introduced him or herself (name and workplace or organisation), at
the same time indicating level of computer skills and areas of interest. This gave rise to
the following contributions:
Skills
Interest
-
knowledge of computers – interest in seeing Manhiça developed
knowledge of computers – to have an information centre in Manhiça
no computer skills (student) – to learn computer skills
some knowledge (resident) – to improve computer skills
minimal knowledge – to see Manhiça progress in IT
minimal knowledge – to see young people using the technologies
minimal knowledge – to see young people interested in IT
minimal knowledge – producing the Manhiça newspaper on a computer
minimal knowledge – for the community to become familiarised with IT
minimal knowledge – to disseminate information by whatever means
minimal knowledge – new technologies

Cumbana then presented the workshop’s objectives. Its starting point was the previous
workshop, and the subject proposed there – malaria. Today’s objectives were:
- to define the target groups or potential users of the CD;
- to develop ideas for the content and forms of transmitting it, in accordance with
the target groups and the available techniques;
- to produce a draft scenario and work plan;
- to define working groups and methodology, and distribute tasks.
II.
TARGET GROUPS
Following a plenary discussion, with ideas noted on the flipchart, the following target
groups were defined:
- women
- children
- young people
- peasants
- health workers
III.
INFORMATION NEEDS
Two working groups were formed with around 12 members each to identify the
information needs of each target group. The first group concentrated on YOUNG
PEOPLE, PEASANTS AND HEALTH WORKERS, and the second on WOMEN,
CHILDREN AND HEALTH WORKERS.
Each group presented its results in plenary, followed by a discussion to identify
similarities and differences. Ideas were clustered, concluding with a set of general
topics/information needs that was valid for every target group:
-
history of malaria, types, ideas about it
transmission, life cycle
symptoms and treatment (both formal and informal)
prevention (techniques and methods)
Break/Refreshments
IV.
HOW TO TRANSMIT INFORMATION
As a way of stimulating creative thinking, Neves presented various CD-Roms with a view
to demonstrating different techniques for transmitting information, including the
following examples:
-
video
photo and image (animation)
text
voice (different languages)
4
-
music
sign language
Four groups were formed, one for each topic. The group had to identify the specific
content needed by each target group, and the respective techniques to be used:
TOPIC----------------------TECHNIQUES---------------------TARGET GROUP
The results were presented in plenary, where each group’s ideas were commented on and
additional suggestions made (see annex). It was agreed that in general two languages
should be used throughout – Portuguese and Shangaan.
Lunch

TEAMS AND WORKPLAN
Polly explained the parameters for the work:
- participation is voluntary;
- there will be a fund to cover costs when doing the work (travel, materials, etc);
- training will be given as necessary (computer, camera, tape recorder, etc);
- there will be a prize for all team members who reach the end.
Permanent work teams were formed for each topic (4), with the following action plan:
- improve and detail the content, and collect information to get more in-depth
knowledge about each topic;
- think about the forms for presenting the information (production, video,
animation, written or spoken text…)
- make a plan for producing the material.
Each team elected a coordinator, and the four coordinators were designated as the overall
coordination group, with the addition of Samo, the telecentre assistant, as contact point.
The teams can involve collaborators or form sub-groups according to need, but without
increasing the numbers of people in the basic teams to an unreasonable extent. Other
people will also be involved later on in testing the materials or in one-off activities.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FACILITATORS
Participation was excellent throughout, and there seems to be great interest and
enthusiasm. The workshop’s objectives were achieved, which suggests that the workshop
structure and methodology functioned well. Establishing a coordination group should
help to monitor activities during the next stage; however, CIUEM/UNESCO should stay
in close contact. We suggest another visit to Manhiça around the end of July, to check on
progress.
Most of the women and girls invited failed to come. There were only two, though they
were both very active.
All the participants except three had participated in the first workshop, which is also a
positive sign.
