* Global Knowledge for Development List (GKD) was established to facilitate broad discussion of the role and impacts of knowledge, including information/communications technologies (ICTs), for development. With 1,500+ members from about 100 countries, GKD offers a major forum for the exchange of ideas. UNDP, the World Bank, and UNESCO, which support GKD, encourage those from around the world, especially those in the South, to use the List to express their own needs, experiences, and suggestions related to ICT and development.

I have been a member of GKP for over a year now and can really recommend the mailing list. A LOT of very competent people are posting to it, and even tho I have been always the lurker there, I have gotten several good ideas about implementing and spreading ICT knowledge through this service.

UNICEF Discussion Groups for Youth

UNICEF offers a VOICE FOR YOUTH! There are good discussion topics on ICTs at
http://www.unicef.org/young/index.html
Also, young media activists chat via the Net with the UNICEF Executive Director. Some 70 young media activists from 17 countries participated in an Internet chat with Carol Bellamy.
http://www.unicef.org/noteworthy/voy-feature/mediachat.htm
The participants argue that mass media does not respond to the needs of youth.
Hope you find it as interesting as I did!
