Bio:
At first, Jean-Luc Raymond was journalist and later trainer during 5 years in a telecenter in a small city near Paris taking care about computing and internet training courses for unemployed people, children, seniors... He has created the biggest group on the Web for french trainers in telecenters (more than 2300 subscribers).
In 2004, he was focusing on the digital gap, working on a project for an association providing internet access to those who can not afford a laptop and a connection.
In 2004/2006, he has observed in research project how homeless and immigrant persons develop strategies with volunteers in telecenters (in Brussels, Belgium and in Paris, France) to have Internet and computing skills - research project a Master 2 Pro project at University of Marne-la-Vallee French University.
Since 2002, Jean-Luc has created and collaborates on several blogs since 2001 including Smartmobs.com, a music blog...
Jean-Luc works at Microsoft France for a “training the trainers” social sponsorship program in poor areas of french big cities. Also, assistant teaching position at University of Marne La Vallee, Paris (for Master Pro students in IT management).
We feel like Jean-Luc’s experience of public service and citizenship via new technologies is very interesting to share, governments (and people) have a long way to go on the matter.
Who should attend his talk?
Anybody interested in Internet as a democratic tool to empower people, give them access to knowledge, education and discussion.
