Myanmar leaders at UW
The University of Washington’s (UW) Jackson School and the iSchool’s Technology and Social Change group hosted 25 Myanmar’s leaders from government, media, libraries, and ethnic communities over the summer. The leaders participated in workshops for five weeks about information strategies and held panel discussions open to the public. The leaders were partly sponsored by Microsoft/USAID. Representatives from the Myanmar group gave short presentations and answered questions about media access, the political situation, and other topics. (end)
