Sessions at Lift12 about Human Rights

Wednesday 22nd February 2012

• Development, redevelopment

  by Steve Song, David Rowan, Marcel Kampman, Farida Vis and Kevin Anderson

  Vint Cerf, considered the "father of the internet", wrote in a recent column that Internet is not a human right, but an enabler of rights. The capacities it gives us - to communicate, organize and publicize everywhere - have been used for business and fun, but also for development and crisis response. This session will explore these last two aspects, and show the possibilities and the limitations too.

  • Crisis Response
  • Education
  • Human Rights
  • Internet
  • Mobile

  At 5:00pm to 7:00pm, Wednesday 22nd February
