Description
'Developing Community Media Partnerships: Empowering diverse voices?' - Monday 12th November - Room 114, Westlain House, Falmer Campus, University of Brighton
Edward Kibosek (ITSkills4Rural Kenya) & Dr Peter Day (University of Brighton)
Much has been written about the power of ICT in modern society. In this presentation Edward Kibosek (Director of ITS4RK) and Dr Peter Day (UoB) step inside the technological rhetoric and explore the role of human agency in the appropriation of ICT through the lens or lenses of community media. An innovative and creative approach to collaboration, one that facilitates dialogue and knowledge exchange that leads to mutual learning and development between Brighton-based students and young people from diverse Kenya communities, is introduced. The role ICT play in developing and sustaining these collaborative partnerships is explored through the presentation of participatory video workshop processes in which 3 students facilitated over 70 young Kenyans from 5 different tribes to reflect on the causes of post-election violence in 2007/08, what it means to them and how it can be avoided in 2013. The presentation concludes by reporting back on a very recent conference, driven by the energies and concerns of Kenyan youth NGOs and supported by the speakers, exploring how ICTs can empower voices for peace in Kenya and beyond.

Description
Making your way to Falmer
Due to the severe shortage of parking spaces on the Falmer site, we recommend that delegates travel to the event by public transport if at all possible.
The Falmer campus is approximately 7 km from Brighton city centre. Cycle lanes run from Falmer to the city centre. Falmer railway station is a short walk, Moulsecoomb is one stop away and Brighton mainline station three. There is a frequent bus service into central Brighton.
Car parking on campus is limited and a parking permit is required to park on the site. Permits are only given to drivers who can demonstrate that car travel is essential. A free shuttle bus operates from Varley, and a Park and Ride scheme from Moulsecoomb.
By bike
- Cycle lanes run from the city centre along the A270 Lewes Road to Falmer. Cycle stands monitored by CCTV are provided on site.
By bus
- The 25, 25A and 25C connect the Falmer campus with the centre of Brighton. The 25A then goes on to Hove and Portslade. The 25C links Falmer with east Brighton including Kemptown, the Royal Sussex hospital and the Marina.
- Visit the Brighton and Hove Company website for timetables and more on special ticket deals for students.
By train
- There are up to four trains an hour from Moulsecoomb to Falmer (4 minutes journey time), two an hour direct to Eastbourne (35 minutes journey time) and regular direct and connecting services to Hastings (70 minutes average journey time).
- Visit the National Rail Enquiries website for timetables and passenger information.
- Due to construction work, access for wheelchair access will no longer be available from the platform adjacent to the university, i.e. Brighton bound. Instead, a free taxi pick-up and drop-off service will now operate from the station side, i.e. Lewes bound. You can find out more about temporary disabled access to Falmer here.
Park and Ride
- There is a Park and Ride service from Moulsecoomb to the Falmer campus. The Park and Ride spaces are marked with a thick green line and you must have a Park and Ride permit to park here.
By car
- From the A23:
At the Mill Road roundabout, as you approach Brighton take the left-hand lane signposted Newhaven, Lewes (A27). At the mini roundabout take the 2nd exit (straight over). At the next mini roundabout take the 2nd exit (right) onto the A27 eastbound. Take the exit signposted universities and Falmer (passing the University of Sussex on the left) and turn right at the roundabout. Go over the flyover, straight on at the next roundabout and then turn first right down Village Way.
- From the A27 eastbound:
Follow the directions above from point 2, bearing in mind you are already on the A27 heading towards Lewes.
- From the A27 westbound:
Take the slip road signposted Falmer Rottingdean and Universities (B2124) and at the roundabout, turn left. Turn first right down Village Way.
