Participatory Media & Technology
Making media accessible and participatory is at the heart of everything we do at EAI. Since our first broadcasts on satellite radio to community groups in Nepal in the early 2000s, we have strived to use media and technology in a way that engages and involves entire populations. Whether training youth and women to lead our community reporter networks, launching an interactive TV/radio series to tackle violent extremism, or gathering feedback on how to address intimate partner violence through lively social media and interactive voice response (IVR) platforms – we are constantly innovating to ensure our content is creative, appropriate, and, above all, inclusive. We work to create technology and social media initiatives that ensure our partner communities have access to tools needed to be effective leaders and change agents by bridging the digital divide through tech camps, hackathons, and other creative capacity building programming.
