The third day in the summit

deaf siblings from tunis 17th November
We met Abdelbasset and Dhouha Souayah at the UNESCO stand during the ICT and Education presentations. Siblings live in Tunis (above). They followed Finnish Sign Language although it is totally different from the Tunisian one.

The last workshop was Electronic Governance in Developing Countries - 1st Network-Building Workshop (middle). It was really good. We were lucky to find it after noticing that proper translation by the UNESCO stand would be impossible due the noise. It would be nice if Teemu from medialab/UIAH and Mikko from FAD would have time to check this site of the United Nations University:

The presentations were excellent and WFD should contemplate carefully the possibility of using open source in future projects.
