What Went On: Process, Interaction, and Participation

In 2014, CC Tanzania hosted a creative event for kids at the Open University of Tanzania, the first university in the region to offer open and distant learning programs. Participants used the Internet and open educational resources to create animations. Three training programs were held around ICT empowerment training for unemployed youth, teaching persons with disabilities how to use computers, and training educators on using ICT to improve how they teach their students.[2]

In 2017, CC Tanzania provided trainings for students, young librarians, and lawyers and promoted Open Access and Open Data in Africa through their accelerated community building work.[3]
