[DC3] RES: workshop proposal IGF 2016

In the draft of connecting next billion I sent modifications with this text. If need to justify issue by issue, I can do a draft too. Demonstrating how Connecting and Enabling the Next Billion contributes to reaching the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Good Health and Wellbeing (Goal n°3) and Quality Education (Goal n°4) – the IGF could be used as a unique platform to demonstrate the cross-sectoral benefits of Access. Examples of success stories in using the Internet, such as the use of high-speed Internet in fighting Ebola, or the development of rural educational communities would be documented. *(Agreed with Marcelo proposed: Includes SDGs 6, 7, 11 e 12 if we think about smartcities and internet of things (it is worth reading The Zero Marginal Cost Society); SDGs 8, 9 and 10 based in the fact that GPD growth is attached to internet access). -----Mensagem original----- De: dc3-bounces(a)listas.altermundi.net [mailto:dc3-bounces@listas.altermundi.net] Em nome de Carlos Afonso Enviada em: segunda-feira, 13 de junho de 2016 20:18 Para: Dynamic Coalition on Community Connectivity Assunto: [DC3] workshop proposal IGF 2016 Hi folks, Our proposal is in the list. 273 proposals were submitted. Ours is number 238 and can be read here: http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf16-workshops/igf-2016-published-proposals I notice items 16 and 17 are blank: 16. Based on which Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? No information provided 17. Background paper No additional background paper provided Item 16 may be particularly important when the MAG analyzes the workshops. If things work as they did in 2015, it is possible to do some editing. In my view, some obvious topics directly related to the workshop theme are part of the following goals: 4 Quality education 9 Industry, innovation, and infrastructure 10 Reduced inequalities 11 Sustainable cities and communities 17 Partnerships for the goals Of course one can relate practically all 17 goals to community initiatives... It would be relevant to insert something like this in the workshop form if it is still editable. Also, if there is a background paper on the theme we could insert in the form it would be great. frt rgds --c.a. _______________________________________________ DC3 mailing list DC3(a)listas.altermundi.net https://listas.altermundi.net/mailman/listinfo/dc3
