Mozilla Festival 2021 (March 8th – 19th, 2021)

Building community of networks for development

This session will be looking at efforts around establishment of research education networks with a case study of such establishment in a state in Nigeria called Ekiti state. The session aims to interact on impact of such a network to centralized services, how it can improve collaboration within institutions, how it can empower the community of users on the network and the role of government in its establishment


We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

I intend to share knowledge from the session with my team on the project and would encourage them to share update on the project even beyond my fellowship period.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

The session is discussion based so i think no matter the number of participants it would be easier to handle as its going to be knowledge/experience sharing. However there is a possibility that if the number is too much some may not have the opportunity to contribute so i intend to ensure that everyone that wants to speak have at least an opportunity to do with. I will do this by moderating and giving priority to those who have not spoken at all and wishes to do so during the session.
