Hackathon

Established in 2009, the Cyprus Community Media Centre (CCMC) works to empower civil society organisations and community groups with the tools to communicate their message to a wider audience. Through training and dedicated production support, equipment loan and access to a state-of-the-art production studio, CCMC promotes the benefits of community-based media by giving people the skills to be in control of their own messages. We believe that through our work we can be an example of best practice, aiding the establishment of a vibrant community media sector in Cyprus.Based in the heart of Nicosia’s Buffer Zone, CCMC is accessible to all communities across the whole of Cyprus. We aim to act as a bridge between the mainstream media and civil society, and to facilitate the development of sustainable relationships between the media across the Cyprus divide.Through our work we strive to be inclusive, collaborative, transparent, equitable and nonpartisan, promoting the creation and broadcasting of productions that contribute to community reconciliation, diversity and multiculturalism.

<P><SPAN>CCMC is hosting a hackathon from 13th-17th July, where young people will collaborate intensively using ICT skills to develop tools or products that will be used by local organisations (NGO's, non-profit organisations, student organisations, social enterprises, etc.). During the Hackathon, young people will learn the process of planning the project and its different elements, look for data and information about the theme of the project and analyse it, find solutions and solve problems, cope with unexpected situations during the development of the project, learn how to communicate with the 'consumer' and understand their needs while putting them into practice.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>The hackathon is part of the Erasmus+ project Generation 0101, a strategic partnership between six countries: Croatia, Cyprus, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and Turkey. The main goals of the project are to (1) strengthen the position of partners on national and European levels and (2) develop skills of partners regarding fostering policy changes in the area of Digital Agenda, development of curriculums for skills needed in the digital industry and use digital tools for social inclusion in local communities.</SPAN></P>
